Homecoming Celebration Sunday Oct. 8-Peters High Guests 



Forster Commagere Dies Suddenly 
In Automobile Friday, September 15 



Miss Geri Martin will 
reign as Homecoming Queen. 
She was voted upon by the 
Football Team in a poll taken 
this week. 


Several Faculty Changes 
Greet Student Body 


Brother Gerald Takes 
Over as Vice President 


Several changes were made in 
the Faculty at Saint Stanislaus 
during the summer months. 
Brother Gerald replaced Brother 
Gerard as Vice President. The 
latter underwent an operation and 
is now recuperating at St. Aloy- 
sius in New Orleans. 

Brother Basil, Steward here last 
session, has the English classes in 
the Senior division; Brother Gor¬ 
dina comes here from St. Aloy- 
sius in the Chemistry depart¬ 
ment; Brother Elbert still holds 
down the Physics; Brother Gun¬ 
ther and Brother Leonard are in 
charge of the Spanish; Brother 


Pierre Michael (Forster) Com¬ 
magere, 67, died Friday, Septem¬ 
ber 15, at 4:10 p. m. as the result 
of a sudden heart attack. 

Mr. Forster, as he was known 
to all, was riding along Necaise 
avenue, when, it appears, he 
felt the attack coming; he turned 
the curve to Bookter street and 
pulled off to the side of the road; 
he died at the wheel of his car. 
When he was removed from the 
automobile, his feet were still 
on the clutch and brake. 

This noted athlete, the son of 
the late Anna M. Bragg and Pier¬ 
re M. Commagere, was born Aug- 

cio-fc 1, 1808, ctt MAndcviTle, Loui-ei- 

ana. He resided at the home of 
Mr. and Mrs. A. R. Hart on Main 
street for a number of years. 

The deceased was a member of 
the Pere Le Due Council No. 1522 
of the Knights of Columbus, an 
advisor on the Selective Service 
Board of the State of Mississippi, 
a member of the judgeship of ju¬ 
venile delinquent courts under 
Judge D. M. Russell Sr.; and he 
served as a Captain in World War 
I in the military service. 

Coached Here 13 Years 
In September 1915, Forster 
Commagere came to Bay St. 
Louis from St. Paul’s College in 
Covington, Louisiana, where he 
had served from 1912 to 1915. He 
came here as coach at St. Stanis¬ 
laus college and stayed until 1928 
when he left for Gulfport to as¬ 
sume the position as coach at 
Gulf Coast Military Academy. His 
assistant there was Milton A. 
Phillips Sr. Following his resig¬ 
nation from this institution, about 
15 years ago, he returned to Bay 
St. Louis to live. 

Directed Field Day Meets 
A former Tulane athlete, he 
served as County probation officer 
and athletic director of the Coun¬ 
ty Public School System. It was 
under his direction that the an¬ 
nual Meld Day meets were held 


m the County. He encouraged 
boys under his supervision to lead 
a good ]ife by participating in 
clean and wholesome sports. He 
taught them the true art of sports¬ 
manship, and he truly exemplified 
character. 



Developed Stars 

It was under his supervision at 
St. Stanislaus that a number of 
great athletes who later became 
famous, were developed. Among 
these were Marchy Schwartz, 
famous Notre Dame star; Zeke 
Bonura, Nat Tycer, and Johnny 
ftcafide and “Wop” Glover, Tu¬ 
lane stars, and many others. As 
trainer of the Rock-A-Chaws dur¬ 
ing the days of “Doc Blanchard, 
he helped develop this famous 
West Point athlete. 

He started his sports career in 
1912, and was still active at the 
time of his death in promoting 
clean sportsmanship among the 
youth of Hancock county. In Au¬ 
gust 1948, his American Legion 
junior baseball team brought hon¬ 


ors to this outstanding man. “His 
youngsters” won the Regional 
Championship, the Southern Mis¬ 
sissippi Regional Championship, 
and finished third in the State 
contest. They paid special trib¬ 
ute to their leader on the occasion 
of his birthday in that year. 

Mr. Forster lived in Bay St. 
Louis with his mother until her 
death some years ago. An only 
child, he is survived by a number 
of cousins, Mrs. Carlos Green Sr., 
of Bay St. Louis; Mrs. Sidney 
Vigneaux, Mrs. Achille Vigneaux, 
Mrs. Wilfred Meridien, Mrs. Al¬ 
bert deBen, Mrs. Emily PrevOst, 
Miss Annie Prevost, Mrs. William 
Steen, Mrs. Lizette Guirard, Rene 
Maduel, James Bertus, are all of 
New Orleans; and Adolph Com¬ 
magere of Baton Rouge. 

Funeral services were held 
Monday at 9:45 a. m. from Fahey 
Funeral Home by Rev. Father 
Patrick Grant, with Requiem 
High Mass at 10:00 a. m. at Our 
Lady of the Gulf Catholic church 
celebrated by Monsignor A. J. 
Gmelch. Interment was in the 
Brothers of the Sacred Heart 
cemetery with services conducted 
by Father Grant. 

The Brothers of the Sacred 
Heart sang the parts of the Mass; 
and the students of St. Stanislaus 
turned out in full honors and 
marched in the procession to the 
cemetery. 

Pallbearers were members of 
“his American Legion baseball 
team.” They were Anthony Pit- 
alo Jr., Lyman Crovetto, Charles 
Carter Jr., Roger Heitzmann Jr., 
Albert Burns, Bruce Favre, D. J. 
Luc, A. J. Chiniche, J. V. Mor- 
reale, Clem Bontemps, Gregory 
Favre, Fred Cabell, Edward Du- 
paquier and L. J. Uhle. 

Honorary pallbearers were a 
number of his close friends and 
members of the Clement R. Bon¬ 
temps Post 139 of the American 
Legion. 


Alvin teaches French. 

In the Grammar Grades, Broth¬ 
er Clifford and Brother Canisius 
have the Eighth Grade. Brother 
Clifford was transferred here 
from Menard in Alexandria; 
Brother Virgil who has the 
seventh grade comes from St. 
Luke’s in the Bronx; Brother Lee 
in the Fifth grade is also from the 
Bronx, and Brother Alberic who 
has the little fellows in the Fourth 
Grade comes from Coindre Hall, 
Long Island. 

T. A. Conners of New Orleans 
and formerly Chief Steward at 
Solaris has taken over the direc¬ 
tion of the Stanislaus kitchen and 
dining room, and from all in¬ 
dications he has taken possession 
of the hearts of all Students—if 
not their stomachs. 


Brother Lambert Returns 
To Saint Stanislaus 

Brother Lambert who has been 
associated with Saint Stanislaus 
and Bay St. Louis in various 
capacities throughout his life has 
again returned to the Bay from 
Natchez. 

Brother Lambert has been 
Teacher, Prefect, Vice President 
and President for six years, 1919 
to 1925 at Saint Stanislaus. He 
has come here to Recuperate from 
a mild heart attack received sev¬ 
eral months ago. 

He will be glad to meet any 
of the “old boys” next Sunday 
when they gather here for the 
annual meeting. 



New Dining* Hall taken during Camp Period 


Alumni Meets To Elect 
Officers for Coming Year 

The annual Homecoming cele¬ 
bration at Saint Stanislaus will be 
held Sunday, October 8th with 
Peters High of New Orleans as the 
feature attraction of the day. 
Kick-off will take place at 2:15. 

The day will also afford the 
Parents of the students to become 
acquainted with the Teachers, and 
ample time will be found to al¬ 
low all visitors an opportunity of 
visiting the facilities of Saint 
Stanislaus. The new dining hall 
is an added attraction to the cam¬ 
pus and students will be all too 
proud to accompany visitors 
around the new building. 

The alumni will hold its an¬ 
nual meeting in the Senior Study 
Hall at 10:30. The main purpose 
of the meeting is to elect officers 
for the ensuing year and to plan 
for the annual banquet held dur¬ 
ing the Spring. 

There will be no Masses held 
in the school chapel aside from 
the regular Sunday Mass at 7 a. m. 
Masses in the church of Our Lady 
of the Gulf are as follows: 6,7, 
8:30, 10, and 11. 

The day’s events will come to 
a close with the annual Homecom¬ 
ing dance when the Queen and 
her court will be signally honored. 
The dance is under the auspices 
of the Junior Class, as usual. 

New Dining Hall Makes 
Hit With All Students 

(By Tommy Aicklen) 

A new structure has arisen to 
add its beauty to the SSC campus. 
This large new two story building 
is made entirely of brick, broken 
only by concrete ledges, one in 
the middle, the other around the 
flat roof, making its design pre¬ 
dominately modern, and captivat¬ 
ing the eye with its singular beau¬ 
ty and grace. 

The new dining room was first 
begun on October 10, 1949, and 
was completed on June 20. It is 
entered through two large 
wrought iron doors beyond which 
stairs lead up to the boy’s dining 
room. The interior is finished in 
a rich beige tile which climbs 
midway up the walls where a 
gleaming yellow plaster completes 
the scheme upward to an acoustic 
celotex ceiling; there flourescent 
daylight tubes cast their cool bril¬ 
liance to the terrazo floor below. 
Two overhead fans set into the 
ceiling pull a continuous flow 
of cool air which circulates 
throughout the entire hall. 

Steam tables on either side 
give the boys a filling like the 
“kind mother makes.” The floor 
space can accomodate 50 tables 
seating six boys, each in charge of 
a capable Senior. 

The Brothers eat in a smaller 
dining hall in the rear of the 
building, entered by a separate 
flight of stairs.

A GREAT MAN PASSES 

Borne to the hallowed grounds of the Brothers Ceme¬ 
tery of St. Stanislaus College, an institution he loved, by 
teen age boys, members of the American Legion Baseball 
teams, whom he had coached, was a fitting climax to the 
life of Fortser Commagere. 

He came to Bay St. Louis in September 1915, as coach 
at St. Stanislaus. He remained there for a great number 
of years, blazing a trail of victories with his teams. Under 
his guidance in the field of athletics, the boys of Saint 
Stanislaus brought much recognition and great renown to 
this venerable institution operated by the Brothers of the 
Sacred Heart. In 1928 he resigned his post at St. Stan¬ 
islaus and accepted a similar one at Gulf Coast Military 
Academy. In the early ’30s Forster resigned from G. 
C. M. A. and returned to Bay St. Louis where he spent the 
remaining years of his life. 

He was appointed Probation Officer and Athletic Di¬ 
rector of the County Public School System, and under his 
direction the annual field day meets were held. He encour¬ 
aged boys to lead a good life by participating in clean and 
wholesome sports, and he taught them the true art of 
sportsmanship. He truly exemplified character, for he 
was a noble Christian gentleman. 

The late Brother Peter, an authority on boys’ work, 
paid a great compliment to Forster Commagere, wnen n t 
told us, a number of years back, that Forster, who was 
then living at St. Stanislaus, was the greatest example of 
true Catholicity for the boys at the college. Continu¬ 
ing, he said, “the boys expect the Brothers, who are mem¬ 
bers of a religious order, to attend Mass and receive Hoiy 
Communion each morning; but Forster Commagere is a 
layman, one, the average boy considers an everyday man 
of the world. When, on each morning of his life, he is 
up at 5 o’clock and attends Holy Mass and receives Holy 
Communion, he is the greatest exampie we can offer to our 
boys.” Forster wa- an outstanding member of the Cath¬ 
olic church, firm in his convictions. He respected the 
Faith of others, and particularly, of the boys under his 
guidance. He demanded their attention to their religious 
duties. His sterling qualities shall ever be remembered; 
and it is to be hoped, they will ever serve as a guide to the 
ooys of our county who were offered an opportunity io 
have come under his tutelage. 

The words of Pliny the Younger truly fit Forster Com- 
magere’s life work: “The highest of character, in my es¬ 
timation, is his, who is as ready to pardon the moral errors 
of mankind, as if he were every day guilty of some himself; 
and at the same time as cautious of committing fault as 
if he never forgave one.” —The Sea Coast Echo 


WELCOME TO STANISLAUS 


A real hearty welcome to all the new students at Saint 
Stanislaus. We sincerely hope by this time you have realized 
that the spirit of Stanislaus is nothing like you have ever 
experienced. You must have had little difficulty becoming 
acquainted with the “old timers” who were, I am sure, only 
too glad to show you 'the ropes, and from them you will learn 
the traditions of Stanislaus. 

We have a great spirit of loyalty to school, sincere 
friendship for every one, and we know from past experience 
that these two things have made Stanislaus known through¬ 
out the South as one of the finest prep schools of its kind. 

Another great trait among the students here is their 
intense love of the Blessed Sacrament shown in their attend¬ 
ance at Mass and the frequency the majority receive Holy 
Communion. These things are seen by each and every 
Stanislaus man. He does not have to be told that these are 
the fundamentals of character building which will make him 
a man among men. 

As for sports, the Rockachaws have always held an 
enviable place in every athletic activity. Win or lose the 
student body is always behind the teams. Hence, your sup¬ 
port is always sought, and we sincerely hope that you will 
have the opportunity of seeing all our games and backing 
the team_Philip Scheurer.

Naval ROTC Program 
At Tulane; Application 
For’51, Close Nov. 18 


(By Gerald Shields) 

The Navy now offers to each 
male high school Senior or Grad¬ 
uate, who is in the specified age 
of seventeen to twenty-one and 
he can meet the mental and physi¬ 
cal requirements, the great op¬ 
portunity of competing for one of 
its six thousand scholarships, 
which will enable him to attend 
one of the fifty-two NROTC col¬ 
leges for four years. 

Along with the scholarship, 
which includes free tuition, fees, 
books, equipment, and uniforms, 
each student will receive six hun¬ 
dred dollars a year for necessary 
personal expenses. 

Within certain limitations he 
may choose his own course of 
study though one course must be 
in Naval Science each semester, 
along with specified minimum re- 
quirments in English, Mathema¬ 
tics, and Physics are mandatory. 
The student will spend two sum¬ 
mers at sea on a Naval ship, and 
receive one summer of aviation 
indoctrination. 

On graduating, he will hold a 
degree in his chosen field in ad¬ 
dition to being commissioned as 
a regular officer in either the U. 
S. Navy or Marine Corps. He will 
serve two years on active duty 
and then, may transfer .to the U. 
S. Naval or Marine Corps Re¬ 
serves. There will also be a third 

year of active duty for those com¬ 
peting for permanent commis¬ 
sions. 

All those planning to enroll in 
NROTC colleges in the fall of 1951 
must submit their applications be¬ 
fore November 18, 1950. 

Interested high school seniors 
and junior college students may 
obtain further information on the 
regular NROTC program by writ¬ 
ing the Professor of Naval Sci¬ 
ence, Tulane University, New Or¬ 
leans, 18, La. 


A few days after school opened 
the Students at Saint Stanislaus 
and the good people of Bay St. 
Louis suffered one of the worst 
attacks in recent years from Jets, 
Fighters, and Bombers. From 
Counter Intelligence, all invaders 
seem to have emanated from the 
Louisiana Coast, and for several 
days spread havoc among the 
citizens and students of Bay St. I 
Louis. Weather people blamed 
the incipient hurricane that didn’t 
know where to go—that’s the one 
which flirted with New Orleans 
and the Mississippi Coast for three 
days. After its departure from 
our coast line, we were treated 
to the best invasion of mosqui¬ 
toes we have ever experienced in 
our young life. 

These pests never said a word 
upon alighting upon soft spots 


(ankles preferred). Too, when 
visiting during the darX- hours of 
night, as sleep weighed heavy up¬ 
on tired brows, then these little 
devils got in their real work. They 
simply hung on for dear life and - 
left a toll of welts and blisters 

»ra.cl . Laiacl- ■fcos'rajp-oa’o call cwouxid 

school. One student claimed to ^ 
have killed no less than one 
thousand in a single sitting in §> 
study hall. This may be a Ripley, t 
we just take his word for the * 
fact. 

At last the good City Fathers 
threw up a smoke screen of DDT 
about the town and we are again 
as peaceful as any country scene 
in autumn. All we ask is that 
Louisiana keep its own pests 
where they belong. We don’t 
want ’em in Mississippi. 



Miss Geri Martin, third from left, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Donas Martin of Bay St. Louis, has been 
selected to reign as Homecoming Queen at St. Stanislaus College, Sunday, October 8. Other mem¬ 
bers of the court are, left to right, Misses Joanne Blanchard, Jackie Luc, Geri Martin, Carole Mossey, 
and Suzanne Blanchard. 

The main attraction of the day will come when the Rock-A-Chaws meet S. J. Peters High of New Or¬ 
leans at the Stanislaus stadium at 2:15 p. m. 

The business meeting of the Alumni will be held at 10:30, and plans will be laid for the ensuing year; 
officers will be elected.

POFTLIOHT... 


By Roger Manl're 

The Rocks face a rather tough schedule this year with Bogalusa, 
Picayune, Gulfcoast Military, McGill and Columbia.... Don’t sell 
McGill short because they dropped that one to Picayune.... the 
McGillians are not used to eating Mississippi shrimp. . . .we lost a 
heartbreaker to Foley, too. . . .just too many penalties to overcome... . 
just watch that off-side stuff, Fellows. 


S- -T of Now Orloanc will be our guests for Homecoming 

Day. They have not been on the Rock schedule for several years—they 
were sort of mainstays for Homecoming, years ago—and. don’t get 
any ideas about there being weak; in previous years, they always 
played best against the Rockachaws! 


The Junior team will make its debut October 6th against the 
Bogalusa Bees. Its a rather big “chaw” for the first game, but we 
know the spirit that Brother Alvin has been putting into all the 
candidates. 


Brother Leo has again organized the muscle building course for 
the gallery cowboys. Any body interested in joining the group may 
apply any day at approximately 3:15... .You’ll be assured of your 
money’s worth every day. .. .you may acquire a few sore muscles, 
and discover a few you didn’t know you had, but there will be 
no need of any doctor’s help. 


Almost every guy on the Varsity is a sky-gazer! Every day as 
school nears dismissal they usually stare at the sky to see if Jupiter 
Pluviue will make a visit.... but doggone, Coach Thames always 
banishes the old boy with “Let’s go boys, we gotta swell after¬ 
noon” .... and the grind begins again. 


The TINY ROCKS will organize this week. Games have been 
arranged with some of the neighboring schools. Too, the Famous 
FLEA and FLY circus will start in the very near future—twelve teams 
will be organized among the feather-weights. 


Holmes Leads 
Altar Boys for ’50 

(By Roger Manfre) 

The Altar Boy society of St. 
Stanislaus held its annual elec¬ 
tions of officers for the coming 
year last week. 

Brother Lee succeeds Brother 
Sidney as Moderator of the or¬ 
ganization. He gave a short talk 
on the principal qualities an al¬ 
tar boy should possess namely 


that of being faithful and prompt. 

After this is was moved that 
nominations for candidates begin. 
When the ballots were counted 
the results showed that James 
Holmes was voted to perform the 
duties of President. Paul Palermo 
received the position of Vice- 
President and Clarence Kimble 
was named Secretary. 

Appointments were assigned to 
the members and posted on the 
bulletin board and in the sacristy. 

New members were admitted. 
Three weeks will be allowed for 
them to learn the Latin.

Stanislaus Drops Opener to Foley 


Football Squad 
Meets Bogalusa 

(By John Saravanja) 

On September the 11th fifty- 
two football enthusiasts turned 
out for the first day of practice 
at our stadium. 

Brother Alvin, football coach, 
decided to let the boys sweat it 
out the first week before getting 
them down to the real business. 
So he started them off with one 
week; and, also familiar expres¬ 
sions like these, “Oh my aching 
back”, “I thought we were going 
to play football”; “Ye Gods my 
poor ankle”. 

Yes, that is how it all began 
but now the boys are really show¬ 
ing pep and getting down to work, 
in fact, we have a very promising 
team this year to represent the 
Junior Rock-A-Chaws. 

Among our Squad this year we 
have a couple of boys from last 
year’s team. Veterans like “Brick 
Wall” Capedpon, “Choo-Choo” 
Simon, Paul Hurley and Tom 
Dreyfus. With this experienced 
backing team these fellows should 
show wonderful results. 

With the distribution of new 
helmets and jerseys the squad will 
be real classy when they clash 
with the Bogalusa “B” team Oc¬ 
tober 16. 

Although the Bogalusa invad¬ 
ers claim to have a better rounded 
team, we think that under the 
excellent coaching of Brother Al¬ 
vin, the boys of the “Red and 
Black” will make a great showing 
and live up to the old Rockachaw 
spirit. 


Too Many Penalties Mar 
Contest With Stanislaus 
Receiving 125 

(By Vincent Liberto.) 

The St. Stanislaus Rock-a- 
Chaws dropped their opening 
game of the season Friday night, 
September 15, to Foley Hi in 
Alabama by the score of 13-8. 

The first quarter was a nip and 
tuck battle with neither team 
making a serious threat; but mid¬ 
way in the second period the Fo¬ 
ley passing combination clicked 
on a 45 yard aerial which spelled 
T. D. The try for point failed and 
at halftime Foley led 6-0. 

Third quarter started somewhat 
the same as the first, but Foley 
capitalizing on the breaks they 
received, which were very numer¬ 
ous, hit paydirt again on a three- 
yard buck up the middle. The 
point was good and at the close 
of the third period Foley was 
ahead 13-0. 

In the early stages of the final 
period the Rocks received their 
first break. A Foley miscue in 
the backfield caused the back to 
run behind his own goal where 
the whole Rock line mauled him 
for • a safety. With half the per¬ 
iod remaining the Rocks once 
again knocked on Foley’s door¬ 
step; but this time only to have a 
touchdown called back because 
of an offside penalty. 

As the game was drawing to 
a close Jimmy Holmes scored the 
only Red and Black tally of the 
game on a quarter back sneak. 
The Rocks fought desperately to 
pull the game out of the fire; but 
at the final whistle the score read 
Foley 13, Stanislaus 8.

THE ROCK-A-CHAW 


Stanislaus Sodality 
Holds Initial Meet 


(By Phil Scheurer) 


Brother Ephrem? s 
Charges Hit Stride 


The senior division of the St. 
Stanislaus Confraternity of the 
Sacred Heart held its elec¬ 
tion of officers here on the morn¬ 
ing of Friday September 22. 

The officers elected were as 
follows: Joseph Clark, Senior, 
Prefect; Jerry Rooney, Junior, 
Vice-prefect; Scotty Assenheimer, 
Senior, Secretary; and James 
Holmes, Senior, Treasurer. Run¬ 
ners-up were Eugene Schwartz 
for prefect, Vincent Liberto for 
vice-prefect, William Grace for 
secretary, and Miguel Gasteazoro 
for treasurer. Charles Staehle’s 
name was written into the ballot, 
and he was elected without op¬ 
position to the honorary post of 
janitor. 

Brother Athanasius, the moder¬ 
ator of the Confraternity, directed 
the proceedings and gave a brief 
account of the purpose of the 
organization and the obliga¬ 
tions of its members. He also ex¬ 
plained that, as much as possible, 
the proceedings at the meetings 


The little fellows who have 
been under the supervision of 
good Brother Ephrem for the past 
two years or so have led the new 
boys into the well known rou¬ 
tine and daily life at Stanislaus. 


Brother Ephrem needs no in¬ 
troduction here. He has been a 
fixture at Saint Stanislaus in the 
Little Study Hall for approxi¬ 
mately eighteen years. All the 
boys who have come under his 
supervision are a credit to his 
care and interest for every phase 
of boarding school life. 


At present the boys are still 
enjoying a daily swim which in 
these hot days is a most welcome 
activitity as soon as class dis¬ 
misses in the afternoon. 


As soon as cooler weather sets 
in, football will be on the tapis. 
Most of the boys of the Little 
Study Hall go out each year as 
candidates for either the Flea or 
Fly teams. These teams play the 
annual benefit game early in De¬ 
cember for the Christmas Tree 
fund. 


and the direction of the various 
activities will be in the hands of 
the officers. 


Stanislaus Band 
Looks Ahead 


(By Larry Scharff) 


Despite the fact that Stanislaus 
lost several key members by 
graduation, the band on first re¬ 
hearsal counted forty boys, most 
of whom had experience last year. 
Therefore, high hopes are in the 
hearts of all the members that 
with this start, we shall be able 
to win new laurels for the Band. 


Brother Romuald, the band dir¬ 
ector, is beginning his nineteenth 
year as Music Director at Saint 
Stanislaus. This marks the first 
year that he does not have to 
start at “scratch” to build up a 
band. 


too, there are so many students 
:ing for practice time to ta&e 
sic that we have been serious- 
thinking of stretching the day 
; a few more hours in order to 
isfy all who wish to play. Un- 
tunately, this is mere wishful 
nking, and we feel sorry for 
>se who cannot be accomodated. 


The spiritual life of the youngs¬ 
ters is well organized. Brother 
Leonard supervises the Blessed 
Sacrament Society which meets in 
the chapel for a short visit every 
evening. We call this the power¬ 
house because these youngsters 
pray for all our intentions. 


When a Fellow 
Needs A Friend 


By Joe Clark. 

It seems that one of the Seniors 
is getting too big for his pants. I 
can’t tell you his name but his 
initials are “Manfredis Ruberis.” 


About a week ago “Manfredis”, 
after taking his shower, proceeded 
to dress. As he put on his pants, 
he noticed that they seemed a 
little tight; but in a moment they 
were around his waist and a good 
fit, though a wee-bit snug. As he 
started to put on his shirt he 
heard the shower room burst into 
laughter. He turned to see what 
was so funny. All he saw was 
that everyone was pointing at his 
pants and issuing shrieks of 
laughter. 


What was so funny, he thought? 
As he glanced at his pants he 
found the answer—To his utter 
amazement, the trousers were al¬ 
most a foot too short. They came 
up to his knees and looked like a 
pair of knickerbockers. 


This week the boys are making 
a Novena to the Little Flower 
which closes October 3rd. Brother 
Ephrem has placed a relic of the 
Little Flower on her pedestal for 
this occasion. 


About this time Brother Leo 
came into the shower room. His 
face tightened and his eyes nar¬ 
rowed and like two search lights 
they flashed around the room. 
When they fell upon “Manfredis,” 
his lips cracked a small smile; 
then his whole face flashed with 
laughter. 


Stanislaus Opens 

m 

Ninety-Seventh Session 


(By Stanton Rosenblath) 
Saint Stanislaus opened its 97th 
session September 6th. The ma¬ 
jority of the boarders had arrived 
the day previous. They were as¬ 
signed beds, and had become ac¬ 
quainted with the prefects. 


ir first appearance will be for 
Homecoming Day game. A 
program is being prepared, 
that is up to the standards of 
ious years 


Wednesday morning the whole 
Student body gathered in the Sen¬ 
ior Study hall where they were 
greeted by Brother Alexis, Presi¬ 
dent. Class rooms were assigned 
and every one had a chance to 
become acquainted with his Home 
Room Teacher. All classes the 
! first day were curtailed, but the 
'following day, Thursday, the real 
grind became a reality. 


e officers of the band are as 
ivs: Captain, Sal D’Angelo; 
Lieutenant, A1 Burns; 2nd 
tenant, Gilbert Schmidt; Ser- 
t, Bruce Favre, Corporals, 
•y Capedpon, Andre Arcene- 
and Jimmy Williams. Music 
irians, Larry Scharff, and

Seventy-three members com¬ 
pose the Senior Class this year. 
It marks the largest number of 
seniors in the history of the 
school, and it is the fond hope of 
everyone in the class that they 
will be all on hand to receive the 
coveted diploma at the close of 
school. 


It was really a sight to see— 
“Manfredis” all dressed up in a 
pair of khakis about five sizes 
too small. It looked as if he were 
ready to go back to the little study 
hall. 


The only explanation we could 
gather was that one of the small 
boys at summer camp forgot one 
pair of kahki pants. Our advice to 
“Manfredis”—Don’t get too big 
for your pants.”

AROUND the CAMPUS Origin of Our Name The Rockachiws 


By Joe Clark 

“Oh, no, not again” are the 
cries heard around the campus. 
The cries pertain to Brother Leo’s 
annual calisthenics. These exer¬ 
cises began three weeks ago but 
for some reason were cancelled 
for one week. On October 16 they 
resumed. I guess Brother Leo

tis Simon has a broken foot and 
Gilbert Schmidt has a twisted an¬ 
kle. Most of these injuries were 
sustained in football games. 

* * * 

Some of the seniors and ju¬ 
niors were very lucky last week 
iend. They received permission 
from Brother Alexis to attend the 
Notre Dame-Tulane game. Talked 
with Eugene Schwartz, Jimmy 1 
Holmes, Bill Huvar, Bob Nun- 
maker, Sstanton Rosenblath, Fritz 
Jahncke, and Grant Gearheard. 
They said that it was one of the 
best games they had ever wit¬ 
nessed, and the Green Wave gave 
the Irish a real battle. Maybe 
L. S. U. will have their hands 
full when they take on the Green- 
ies this year. What do you 
think? 


The assembled Alumni were 
welcomed by Brother Alexis, S 
C ; , president of St. Stanislaus; in 
his talk, Brother outlined plans 
for the Centenary celebration of 
the school in 1954. He dreamed 
of having a music hall, a new 
infirmary, a combination dormi¬ 
tory and classroom building, con¬ 
taining at least six classrooms, and 
a gymnasium which would also 
contain a swimming pool. 

Linden Braud, 1904, suggested 
that the executive committee, with - 
Brothers Alexis and Edmund, be [ rather annoying 
allowed to select the date and \ 
place of the Alumni’s spring meet- * 


(By The Inquiring Reporter) 

Where did we get the name 
which seems, after all, to be of In¬ 
dian origin? Yes, sir, these little 
burrs that are native to the coast 
from Hancock County to Pensa¬ 
cola derive their name from the 
Indians, who once dominated this * 
part of the Gulf Coast. 

Saint Stanislaus derived its 
name—the Rockachaws from two 
school teams along about 1917 and 
’18, The Tulane Freshmen and the 
Jesuit Blue Jays. 

Both these teams were beaten 
rather handily that season and 
both teams told reporters in New 
Orleans that the Rockachaws had 
more to do with their loss than 
did the playing of the boys whc 
represented St. Stanislaus.^ 


The playing field at that time 
did have plenty of the pesky 
burrs. They were, as even till 
now, very affectionate. Very, 
very sticky, but most of all they 
had the most adhesive qualities 
of any burr in existence. To add 
to the worries of those who made 
their acquaintance, the burrs very 
frequently sunk into the epider¬ 
mis and after a day or two set up 
a petty infection that was, and is, 


More Power, 
Better Lighting 

At long last the electricians 
have completed their work. We 
stood around as curiosity-engi¬ 
neers while trenches were dug, 
and cables laid in the ground We 
wondered why all the precaution¬ 
ary measures, and the vhy of all 
the heavy duty wires. 

Five transformers have been 
added to the poles adjoining the 
chapel and main buildings. This 
is to afford a greater amount of 
power. The main switch is now 
located in the main building near 
the vice President’s office. From 
this point the wires diffuse the 
power North and South ~ en¬ 
abling all points to receive better 
lighting facilities than heretofore. 
Too, the three phase system will 
allow for the air-conditioning 
unit which has been installed lor 
the convenience of the school of¬ 
fices. 


New Draft Plans 
Hit H. S. Students 


New Draft plans were laid be¬ 
fore Director Lewis B. Hershey 
last week by a group of top edu¬ 
cators and professional men who 
bad made a two year study of the 
problem and have given their an¬ 
swer: defer the bright boys. The 
plan has had the whole hearted 
endorsement of General Hershey. 

Under the plan, every student 
in the Uni ted States would take 
an aptitude test. If a High School 
student scores in the upper 25% 
he would get deferment and qual¬ 
ify for college work. To avoid 
favoring the sons of the well-to- 
do the educators recommended 
that Federal scholarships be pro ¬ 
vided for poor boys who thu.* 
qualified. In college, the student 
would have to keep his grades 
high, or )the drfcift would get 
him 


The confraternity so far this 
year has held three meetings, one 
being a spiritual meeting in the 
Chapel. The confraternity ap¬ 
pointed five committees to han¬ 
dle their activities. These com¬ 
mittees are as follows: Publicity 
committee, chairman, Scotty As- 
senheimer; The Eucharist com¬ 
mittee, chairman, Jimmy Holmes; 
Our Lady’s Committee, chairman, 
Jerry Rooney; Social comittee, 
chairman, Jerry Rooney, and the 
Program committee, chairman, Joe 
Clark. i j^jjg 


Lucien Raymond seems to be 
having a little trouble in under¬ 
standing Physics. The other day 
^ discussion arose concerning cu¬ 
bic sand. Raymond scratched his 
lead a moment and then sub¬ 
mitted this question to Brother: 
Brother, how can you cube sand?” 
brother Elbert thought a moment 
hen walked over to the sink and 
|rocedeed to turn on the water. 
Raymond, you see this water?” 
Yes, Brother,” answered Ray- 
lond. “That’s cubic water, Ray- 
iond,” said Brother! 


ing, and due notice be sent to 
each member. 

Brother Alexis announced that 
the present bank balance of the 
Brother Peter Memorial Scholar¬ 
ship fund is $3416.68. It was pro¬ 
posed, by several of the members, 
that a committee be appointed to 
find new ways and means to en¬ 
hance the fund in as short a time 
as possible. The goal this year is 
to obtain sufficient funds to allow 
for at least one scholarship. The 
new officers will name this com¬ 
mittee in the near future. 

It was voted to invite the wives 
and sweethearts of the Alumni to 
the spring meeting; each member 
will bear the expenses of his 
guest. The executive committee 
will schedule a date and place to 
have the present senior class in¬ 
ducted into the Alumni associa¬ 
tion. 

Brother Lambert, who has held 
various positions at Saint Stanis¬ 
laus from 1896 to 1926, received 
many of the old timers who visit¬ 
ed for the day. Among them were 
Henry Waguespack, 1900, Linden 
Braud, 1904, Cyril Claverie, 1916, 
Mike Irwin, 1916, Berch Wilbert, 
1923, Omer Kuebel, 1922, and 
many others. 


If the rockachaws were bother- ^ ¥V ^ iA & 
some to the visitors, they were mustache 


doubly so to the home players 
who used the field every day. If 
they did bother the Stanislaus 
boys of yesterday, little was said 
about them, altho it has been 
known to happen around here to 
have rockachaw hunting parties 
after a bath.

As the story goes, if the nat¬ 
ural burrs gave trouble to visi¬ 
tors, so did the men who bore,

here loaded for bear only to re¬ 
turn home with the small end of 
the score. 

Maybe we ought to allow the 
burrs to grow again on our field, 
perhaps the home team could get 
used to them to the detriment of 
the visitors

Poem of the month: 
Onward, move onward, 
Oh time in thy flight; 
. Make the bell ring 
1 Before I recite . 


(By Ed Schofield) 

Jerry Rooney was elected unan¬ 
imously as President of the Ju¬ 
nior class last week. Clarence 
Kimble, who is also the assistant 
manager of the Varsity squad, 
was elected Vice President. Gene 
Cagle and Gregory Favre were 
the winners of the Secretary and 
Treasurer Offices respectively. 

The Juniors are already talking 
up a dance before Thanksgiving 
Day to enable them to raise funds 
for the annual Senior-Junior 
prom. 

The President announced that 
the various Committees to help 
along in decorating, program, mu- 
sic, publicity, and the old reliable 
j cleaners will be announced. 

Big doings are promised by the 
Juniors this year. They believe 
m the motto, “we lead, let others 
follow.” 


goatee—Dr. Marion J. Wolfe has 
arrived for his daily visit. 

The good Doctor does not im¬ 
mediately go into the infirmary. 
He heads for the Brothers’ dining 
room for his mid-morning coffee, 
and we understand that his visit 
is timed for the recess period, 
ro he may meet the Brothers and 
then it is that a great deal of 
the world’s ills are diagnosed. 

Another purpose for the doc¬ 
tor’s delay in arriving at the 
Infirmary may be, at least this is 
the conception of some students 
that it is to allow 1 the boys ample 
time to have a recess, and still 
allow a visit to tell their trou¬ 
bles. (Just want to say this de¬ 
lay comes in rather handy on 
test days. I hope I have not put 
my foot in my mouth.) 

Doctor Wolfe has had more than 
his share of troubles this past 
week with football injuries, but 
especially, because of the absence 
of Miss Ellis. No one seems to 
know where to find anything that 
is needed at the moment. 

Any student who tries to fake 
to get into the infirmary has a 
tough chance bucking Doctor 
Wolfe. First of all, the good 
Doctor was once a student here 
himself. He was a boarder. He 
knows all the tricks, and natur¬ 
ally knows all the remedies for 
hypochondriacs. 

Dr. Wolfe has been connected 
with Saint Stanislaus since 1921. 
That is with the exception of time 
spent at the Tulane Medical and 
his two years internship at Char¬ 
ity. While at Stanislaus he star¬ 
red with the track team and in 
basketball. His team was then 
dubbed: the 135-oound team, but 
there was not a Pren team in 
New Orleans that could outscore 
them. 


If a boy wished to remain de¬ 
ferred upon completion of his col- 
lege work, he must work at thfe 
calling for which he trained, or in 
a job that is essential to the nat¬ 
ional health, safety or interest. 

Hershey’s educators Wanted to 
make sure that not only budding 
scientists and technicians were de¬ 
ferred; but also the best students 
in the arts were spared on the 
grounds that a healthy society 1 
needed them too. 

In closing Hershey said, “What¬ 
ever we do, we shall not escape 
the accusation of being unjust. 
There is no justice in taking boys 
between 18 and 25 to save the na¬ 
tion. That is just necessity.” 

St. Stanislaus Band 
Performs In Jackson 


(By Larry Scharff) 

The Hancock Board of Super¬ 
visors invited the Saint Stanislaus 
band last week to accompany Miss 
Pat Favre of Kiln to Jackson, 
Miss. The young lady was a 
contestant from this district for 
the Second Annual Mississippi 
“Queen of the Forest” contest. 

This contest was held under 
the auspices of the Msisissippi 
Forestry Commission in conjunc¬ 
tion with the Mississippi Agricul¬ 
tural and Industrial Exposition. 

As everything panned out, we 
were most sorry that Miss Favre 
did not win the State contest, 
although the band members would 
have been glad to extend to her 
a unanimous vote. 

In retrospect, it was a sleepy 
group of boys who reported to 
Brother Romuald early Friday 
morning. Most of us felt as if 
it were mid-night but really the 
clock pointed to only 4:30. Well 
it did not take long to stow our 
belongins aboard the bus, and we 
were off. To be sure, some had 
foreseen empty stomachs that 
early in the morning, so fortified 
the inner man before relaxing to 
take on more sleep that had 
been so rudely interrupted.

THE NEW DRAFT PLAN 


According to the latest reports from Washington anent 
the Draft Law which puts a premium on brains, we think 
in the words of General Hershey, “There is an injustice." 


The implication involved is that the slow student is 
necessarily a sluggard, a drone, a parasite, or one who is 
attending school because that is the easiest work at the 
moment. 

There may be cases such as the implication applies, but 
there are far more who cannot rate the upper 25% because 
they have not been endowed by God—with a greater amount 
of talent. 

If we look up history we can list many great leaders 
of all walks of life who could not have measured up to 
the requirements as set forth, nevertheless by their plodding 
and perseverance were outstanding in their feilds of endeav¬ 
or. 

Too, if the law is strictly enforced just consider the pres¬ 
sure that will be brought to bear upon High School Teach¬ 
ers, College Professors and Deans—human nature is just 
not strong enough to resist all the arguments that will be 
advanced. 

In our democracy, all men are guaranteed equal rights; 
vhy then should partiality be shown toward a man whom 
God has endowed his high intellectual abilities. It is much 
his duty to fight for his country as his less talented bro¬ 
ther.—Phil Scheurer.

ON THE DOWN BEAT 


(Editor's note: Selected from Jack Butler's 

year," in the Brooklyn Tablet.) 

In our book the “Coach of the Year_every year_is the 

teaching Brother. He does more than just instruct and 
guide a youngster in the rudiments of a game—he teaches 
lessons for life. 

It wouldn’t take a sharp eye to notice this reporter's 
high regard for modern monks of the Catholic classroom. 

I've viewed them from time to time. In relation to 
sports as coaches, moderators, players and athletic directors. 

Now the question could arise, “Why do these religious teach¬ 
ers put such emphasis on sport for themselves and their 
charges?" It is because they take seriously one Pope's philo¬ 
sophy that “Christian education is the development of the 
whole man." For them, that means a boys body, as well 
*.s his soul and mind. They recognize the wholesome ef¬ 
fects of such competitive games in forming character and 
keeping the mind free from temptation, along with the 
growth of the physique. And there, perhaps you have the 
underlying reason why most Brothers were good sportsmen patien t! 
themselves (at least in effort), and inculcate it into the 
youth under their care. One of their vocation pamphlets 
reads on this point: “Any and every means to draw youth 
to Christ is employed by the Brothers.' 

Visit their Juniorates and Novitiates, and you will 
see there the coach of tomorrow playing today (during 
recreation period) ; if their future pupils could only see 
them! Viewed n the light of the above, one can readily 
see more reasons for the activity besides that of building 
the young novices up physically for the exacting lile ot a 
religious teacher.—Quoted from the McGillian.

During the past six weeks, the music department has been one of 
much activity. The band had the wonderful experience of hearing 
the U. S. Navy Band, sometime known as the “President’s Band.” Our 
band participated during half-time at the Homecoming game and re¬ 
cently paraded in Jackson for the Mississippi ^Queen of the Forest” 
contest. Last Friday the band performed during half-time at the Stan¬ 
islaus-Picayune game. 


'Several of the boys who were not in the band last year have been 
admitted to fill the gaps left open by graduation. This year 
a big responsibility falls on those boys who replace last years grad¬ 
uates in the lead positions. 


It really is a shame that a day doesn’t contain more hours—at 
least more music lesson hours. Brother Romuald has been swamp¬ 
ed with applicants who want to take music, but there just isn’t 
enough time for everyone. There is only one thing to say to those 
who have been turned down, wait until an opening can be found—Be

The month of the Holy Rosary was well kept by many j Levy, Larry Scharff, Gerald Gex 
students The daily recitation of the Rosary at noon re- James Becnel, Anthony Benign 
cess was well attended by the members of the Confrater¬ 
nity of the Sacred Heart, but there should have been more 
on hand. Not only members but other students as well. 

We all have something we want. Prayer does wonders. 

Try it especially when those lessons are tough or the road 

is arduous. —• 

November is another month of special prayer. H is 
dedicated to the Holy Souls. We must pray for our friends 
for those who have helped us in life, and even those who 
at times may have been irksome to us. Daily Mass is one 
of the best means of helping the poor Souls, and getting 
up early will only add to the good work.

Listening to a well-known Hol¬ 
lywood radio commentator some 
time back, I heard her say that 
she had just returned from a Yer- 
peen trip, and had had a lovely 
time nittly. I at once recognized 
her as an accomplished Slurvian 
linguist and, being a student of 
Slurvian readily understood that 
she had just returned from a 
European trip, and while there 
(in Yerpl had had a lovely time 
in Italy. 

Slurvian is coming into com¬ 
mon use in the United States, 
but I am, as far as I know, the 
°nly scholar to have made a start 
^oward recording it. I first heard 
oure Slurvian fluently spoken by 
a co-worker of mine who told 
me that his closest friend was a 
man named Hard (Howard), 
Hard was once in an automobile 
accident, his car, unfortunately, 
eliding with another, causing 
Hard’s wife Dorthy, who was 
T vi.th him, to claps. Dorthy didn’t 
have much stamina but was a 
^weet woman—sweet as surp. 

I soon discovered I had an ear 
for Slurvian, and since I began 
to recognize the language, I have 
encountered many Slurvians At 
ball parks, they keep track oi 
’hits, runs, and airs. On farms 
they plow furs. In florist shops 
they buy flors. When they ar< 
hard up, they bar money fron 
hanks, and spend it for every

THE ROCK-A-CHAW 



ORTLIGHT... 


By Roger Manfre 

Looks like the Rocks broke ice 
at last . . . Or, was it Peters High 
they broke? 51 to 0 is the high¬ 
est score the Rocks have made in 
quite some time . . . They should 
have saved one T. D. for the Co¬ 
lumbia game which ended in a 
tie, 19 to 19. 

V 

Coach Thames need never wor¬ 
ry about having an able bodied 
man to fill in. as a replacement 
for any position on the team . . 
Not with Big Luke Caruso on the 
squad ... In the last quarter ot 
the Homecoming game he moved 
from tackle to fullback, where he 
tossed his 220 pounds around 
much to the sorrow of the Peter’s 
line. 

* * * 

Bogalusa’s Junior team set aside 
the Red and Black “B” team by 
a score of 33-0 . . . Stanislaus 
came back in their next game by 
winning over McGill 12-7; G. C. 
M. A. drew a close one in the 
beginning of the season 13-7. 

* * * 

Individual attention is being 
given a number of netmen who 
show promising talent . . . Bro¬ 
thers Canisius and Gunther with 
a cooperative crew are recondi¬ 
tioning the courts . . . Practice 
for a berth on the team is high¬ 
ly recommended at this time. 


The Varsity has certainly been 
hit hard with injuries and sick- , 
ness. As we go to press Jimmy ' 
Gilmore is in the hospital in .New \ 
Orleans. His appendix was re- j 
moved Sunday evening; Gilbert ! 
Schmidt is nursing a bum an- j 
kle; Ralph Hille and Jimmy Hoi- j 
mes have injured hands; T. J. 
Qabb ran into a Bogalusa tackle ; 
who smeared his nose; Hartwell ; 
Gex is out for the season, with, 
a broken arm. It never rains, but 
it pours! 

sfc Hi 

Curtis Simon broke two small 
bones in his foot against the Bog¬ 
alusa Bees last week. Curtis just 
seems to run into bad luck, the 
previous week the Cadet line at 
GCMA knocked him out for sev¬ 
eral minutes.

Tiny Rocks Row 
To Pass Midgets 

►it The TINY Rocks, 100 pound rep- 
•y resentatives of Saint Stanislaus, 
ic lost their first game of the sea- 
Ld son to the Pass Midgets, 19 to 0. 

The Midgets scored twice in 
a< the opening quarter, the game 
'n was hardly a minute old when 
er the Pass right half scored on the 
7fl ] kick-off. Seems as if most every- 
; one of the Tiny Rocks had a 
^ chance to <tag him along the 
>tv way. 

1 Shortly after, the Midgets again 
u scored on the return of a punt 
from the Pass 45 yard line. Again, 
>r the Midget representative scam- 
i; pered down field without a man 
o touching him. The last score 
t' came in the final period. 

: The rangy opposition was too 

a much for the Tiny Rocks to o xr er- 
come. Good gains were made 
n through the line by Louis Doucet. 
ot Walter Gex, Kenny Artigues, and 
kill Cassidy. 


Peters of New Orleans, by the 
score of 51-0. 

Jerry Rooney led the Rock at- 
ack by tallying three of the eight 
touchdowns and adding three 
conversions from placement. Jer¬ 
ry tallied on runs of 30, 17, and 
18 yards and set up two other 
TB‘s with a run of 30-yards and 
a 28-yard pass from Jimmy Hol¬ 
mes. 

Quarterback Holmes tossed two 
touchdown passes, one to Bob 
Falgout for 50 yards and the other 
to Jerry little for 20 yards. 
He also scored on a sneak. Roger 
Heitzmann and Gilbert Schmidt 
accounted for the other two. 

The second touchdown was 
to some, while others who had ma d,e possible by the efforts ot 
taken the trouble to read the : Luke Caruso and Don Mathes 
play ahead of time, enjoyed it ; who broke through the line and 
immensely. j blocked a Wildcat punt, recov- 

ering on the 17-yard line. 


We got some future scrubbers 
on hand in case anything goes 
wrong with education. This was 
proved the night before Home¬ 
coming when the galleries were 
given a cleaning by Gene 
Schwartz, expert hoser; Stanton 
Rosenblath broorrf and mop hand¬ 
ler; Donald Gross, assistant soap 
spreader, Russell Simons, hoser 
and Sal D’Angelo, mopper and 
scrubber, extraordinary. Any fu¬ 
ture jobs welcomed, and estimates 
gladly given. 

Heard some rumors to the ef¬ 
fect that the Sodality may spon¬ 
sor a dance for Hallowe’en night. 
Hope they get together as the 
Little Study hall seems to ha\e 
laid plans for a party that night 
with the usual initiation of the 
“Fresh Fish.” 

Fleas And Flies 

(By Ed Schofield) 

Brother Rian, who also super¬ 
vises the activities of the Tiny 
Rocks, also has an eagle eye on 
the prospective Flea and Fly 
teams which will appear later in 
the season in the annual classic 
for the Christmas Tree Fund 

All the boys in the Grammar ; 
school department have been in- j 
vited to participate in the league 
which has been formed. Six 
teams have been formed to date. 
Games are played every day after 
school. The biggest headache so 
far has been to find sufficient 
space around the campus to run¬ 
off the daily games. 

One game is played on the cam¬ 
pus immediately in back of the 
main building one in the park ad¬ 
joining the old ravine, and the 
third uses the grounds adjoining 
the St. Stanislaus Day school, bet¬ 
ter known as the back school. 

Six teams have been formed. 
The larger boys of the group form 
three and the smaller and young¬ 
er boys form the other three. 


S. J. Peters gained only 30 
yards during the game and failed 
to complete a pass. They picked 
up 4 first downs to the Rocks 
15, two of these penalties. 


The Junior Rocks 

(By John Saravanja) 

j The Junior Rockachaws, coach¬ 
ed by Brother Alvin, Opened the 
season with GCMA at Gulfport. In 
the first quarter, Dianous inter¬ 
cepted a lateral and went over 
for the first score. Capdepon’s 
kick from placement was good. 

The Cadets scored in the second 
quarter on an intercepted pass. 
At the half the score was 7 to 7. 

In the last quarter the Cadets 
again romped to a touchdown af¬ 
ter a 40 yard drive down to the 
Rock goal. The final score Cad¬ 
ets 13, Rockachaws 7. 

* * * 

The Bogalusa Bees were enter¬ 
tained on Columbus Day. The 
Junior Lumberjacks took advan¬ 
tage of every miscue of the Junior 
Rocks and when the dust had 
settled at the final whistle the 
Bogalusa Bees had racked up 33 
points to the Rocks 0. It was 
just a case of too many fumbles 
)n the part of the slippery fingers 
of our budding Rockachaws. This 
can be corrected with practice and 
experience . 

* * * 

Last Sunday the Juniors travel¬ 
ed to Mobile where they clashed 
with the McGill Bees. This time 
the Junior Rockachaws came 
heme with the long end of the 
score 12 to 7. 


Rockachaws Bow To 
Lumbeijacks 55 to 0 

A jittery Rockachaw squad 
faced the famous Bogalusa Lum¬ 
berjacks two weeks ago and from 
the opening whistle gave a beau¬ 
tiful demonstration of how not to 
play fooball. The Jacks were 
spark-plugged by their all-State 
quarterback Cliff Stringfield. who 

took advantage of a bad punt and le of threats but a Stanislaus 
a Rock fumble all within the fumble set up the score for the 


The first half was all Stanis¬ 
laus. Bill Gearheard tossed a 25 
yard pass to Saravanja, who j 
scampered across the goal. A j 
short time later, Whipper Gear- i 
heard again snapped a pass this j 
time to Greg Favre who scored j 
standing up. 

The second half was all Me- j 
Gill. The visitors staved off a j 


20 yard marker. 


McGillians. The extra point was 


In the second quarter another scored by an end run. Final 


TD was marked up by virtue of a 1 score Stanislaus 12, McGill 7. 
blocked punt. It was the 1st time \ * * * 

that happened to a Stanislaus 11 j 
in five years. At the half time, 
the Lumberjacks led 21 to 0. 

After the Bogalusa boys had 
gathered in another touchdown, 

Coach Thames put in all the 
sophomores on the bench 


The Juniors will take on the 
Fortier Bees, Friday afternoon 
here at the home field. Last year, 
the Baby Tarpons took the Rocks 
to the cleaners. This year we 
hope to reverse the score. 


(By Vincent Liberto) 

Stanislaus saved itself from a 
second defeat in two weeks by 
scoring a touchdown in the last 
quarter against Columbia last 
Friday night to tie the score 19- 
19. 

The Rocks started out where 
they had left off against Peters 
in the opening play of the game. 
Rooney ran 45 yards to the Co¬ 
lumbia 10. The home boys held 
for downs by virtue of three un¬ 
completed passes; then, the Rocks 
took over from the Columbia 25 
where Gilbert Schmidt streakec., 
around end for the first marker. 

Columbia came back with a fif¬ 
ty yard run for their first score, 
but there try for placement fail¬ 
ed and Stanislaus still led 7 to 
6 . 

Rooney came back with a 65 
yard run which was attended by 
the best down field blocking the 
Rockachaws have given this year. 
Rooney’s try for extra point was 
slightly away from the goal posts. 

The Wildcats came right back 
on the kick-off to score all the 
way from their own 20. Their 
try at placement failed and at the 
half, Stanislaus led 13 to 12. 

Columbia earned the last 
marker, shortly after the half op¬ 
ened by a steady march down 
the field from their thirty. The 
Rocks put up a swell defense on 
their own five yard line and when 
they took over the ball was on 
the twenty. On the first play, 
the Rocks fumbled on their own 
10; the Wildcats recovered and on 
the second play, a quarter back 
sneak scored the six points and 
their las tmarker was put on the 
board by virtue of a well placed 
kick. The Rocks ended the game 
deep in the Wildcat territory, in 
fact, within easy scoring distance.

Sodalities For 
Day Students 

Reverend P. C. Grant, assistant 
Pastor of Our Lady of the Gull 
Church went through the various 
classes this past week organizing 
sodalities among the Day students, 
especially those from Bay Saint 
Louis. 

While many of these students 
already belong to the Confrater¬ 
nity of the Sacred Heart at the 
school, it was felt that a local or¬ 
ganization that can operate 
throughout the whole year would 
be more feasible, especially dur¬ 
ing the vacation period. 

Special communion days will be 
announced in the near future for 
the High School and Grammar 
School departments.

New Wire Fence 
Encloses Playing Field 

A new wire fence now encloses 
the playing field at the Stanislaus 
Stadium.The fence was erected 
through the means of Brother 
Leonard, Mr. Lucien Raymond 
and the labor of the members of 
the Bay Tigers. 

With the exception of the gates 
at the end zones the fence is now 
finished, Mr. Raymond has tried 
to mate it as foolproof as possi¬ 
ble, that is, he has tried to make 
the fence suitable for the lead¬ 
ers, the lightweights as well as 
the heavy-weights. 

The next project will be the 
visitors dressing room and show¬ 
ers. It is to be hoped that the 
building will be finished before 
the end of the football season.

Around The Campus! 

— 

(By Joe Clark) 

The Confraternity of the Sacred 
Heart at its last meeting decided to j 
divide into Junior and Senior 
^groups as the present arrangement 
is too unwieldy. Too, this divi¬ 
sion will allow the Sophomores 
and Freshmen more latitude for 
discussion. The Junior section will 
elect their Officers at the next 
meeting. 

* 4 « 

All the members of the Confra¬ 
ternity took part in the ceremonies 
of All Souls Day. They attended a 
Solemn High Mass in the parish 
Church and that afternoon march¬ 
ed in procession while reciting the 
Rosary to the Brothers cemetery 
where they remembered the Bro¬ 
thers who are buried there. 

* ^ • 

Those Seniors you see walking 
about the Campus with Literature 
books — the books are not for the 
purpose of putting upon tneir 
iieads to acquire posture. No, they 
are being toted around in order 
[to get Macbeth inside the head 
that recitations may be made 
without flaw or perchance a visit 
to ye penance hall, messir. 

* * * 

Old man winter paid us a very 
i unexpected visit last Friday. 
Sweaters were at a premium. 
Some fellows who went up to 
Petal were even hollering for 
blankets — and we poor suckers 
had ’em all on our beds, and feel¬ 
ing very comfortable, thank you. 
* * * 

The half-time show at the Jun¬ 
ior- McGill Game last Saturday 
night was unique and well re¬ 
ceived. We were sorry the cold 
weather kept so many away from 
the game as the show was well 
worth seeing. How about a repeat 
for next game? 

* * * 

The new cruiser had its first 
baptism of fire before it was a 
week-old. Some one drove a truck 
alongside, or rather too close and 
bashed in some of the side walls. 
Understand the damage was not 
too great, but the fact of no car 
on the premises was seriously felt. 
* * * 

Those holidays at Thanksgiving 
will have to be stretched some 
way or another. Every one has 
plans for the time and if all ulans 
are carried out the four days al¬ 
lowed will have to contain moie 
than twenty-four hours. Natiiral- 
ly, there is a lot of that well 
known line going around as to 
„.what will be done — if half of it 
is accomplished, that will be a 
whole lot. 


BAND CHALLENGED 
BY NEW CLASSIFICATION 


Increased Enrollment 
Obstacle To Be Hurdled 
For State Contest 


Navy Exams 
Slated Dec . 9 


The fifth nation-wide competi¬ 
tive examination for the Navy’s 
College Training Program is sche¬ 
duled for December 9th. This quiz 
is open to Seniors in High School 
and High School graduates be¬ 
tween the ages of 17 and 21. 

Beginning with the fall term 
of college, 1951, the Navy plans to 
take about 1600 students into its 
college program. Boys interested 
in this must take an aptitude test 


(By Larry Scharff) 

Almost every year the Saint 
Stanislaus Band is forced to hur¬ 
dle some obstacle. For several i 
years it was because of Gradua- j 
tion or members dropping out of 
school. This year the band faces ! 
a newer and a more formidable 
difficulty. The organization moves 
up to the Class “B” division bands. 

in previous years, the Stanislaus 
band has operated in the “CC” 
class which is for schools whose 
enrollment does not exceed 250. 
This session Stanislaus has more 
than 257 in the High School De¬ 
partment which automatically 
moves the Rockachaws into “B” 
class. 

In this classification the selec¬ 
tions are more difficult than in 
the “CC” division. Too, in this 
new rating the sight-reading con¬ 
test will count for points towards 
a Superior rating in the .final 
count. As to the marching, there 
have been no changes in the re¬ 
quirements. 

This marks a big hurdle lor 
the members of the Stanislaus 
band to overcome ,but with the 
perseverance they have shown in 
previous years, this wiil mean that 
more energy and patience will 
have to be expended to achieve 
results worthy of previous years. 


Marchie Schwartz 
Honored By Coast 


Marchie Schwartz, Class 1926, 
has been named Coach of the Wes. 
Team in the annual Cripple: 
Children Benefit held on the West 
Coast. Coach Wilkerson of Okia 
homa has been assigned as Mar 
chie’s assistant. 

The game is usually played ir 
Los Angeles and as sort of “eye 
opener” for the Tournament of 
Roses. 

The game is sponsored by the 
Shriners who devote all the money 
received for the benefit of crip¬ 
pled children, not only on the 
Pacific Coast, but wherever there 
is a hospital for children. 

The players who take part are 
all Seniors. Almost every one is a 
top-notcher in his position, and 
many are among those named as 
All-Americans. 


to qualify. 

All those who are interested in 
the examination should file ap¬ 
plications as soon as possible. See 
Brother Alexis for the forms and 
mail immediately to Princeton 
University. The examinations in 
this district will be held in New 
Orleans. Time and place will be 
announced before our next pub¬ 
lication date. Watch the bulletin 
board. 


Mr. T. A. Connor, Steward 


He prepares all the meals and he satisfies some 250 boys 
three time a day! 


Most Popular On Campi 

Napoleon once said that “An Army travels on its stomach.” Had 
old Nap been the directing head of a large dining room of a board¬ 
ing school, he would have repeated his statement and with plenty 
of fact to corroborate his thought. If Napoleon is not at hand at the 
present time, all that need be done is to pay a visit to Mr. T. A. 
Connor, the genial steward at Saint Stanislaus. The visitor would 
soon learn of the prodigious amount of foodstuffs consumed in a 
week through the excellent appetites of the boarders, and Mr. Connor 
rejoices to see everything go down the hatch. He wants nothing left 
over, and his heart never feels better than to see some feliows miss 
out on their third helpings. 

Mr. Connor started the session with us in September of this 
year. He came here from New Orleans where he had been (Steward 
at Solari’s for the past four years. Previous to that time he had 
been with the Army in the same capacity in the Canal Zone, Panama 
Mr. Connor has been in the business of handling food for approxi¬ 
mately twenty-six years. 

In the little time he has been at Saint Stanislaus he has won 
all hearts and all appetites. His specialty is pastries and all his 
products are eagerly devoured, and many are looking for more. 

Here’s to a long stay at Saint /Stanislaus to Mr. Connor. Every¬ 
one here at school is most happy to have him with us, and it is 
sincerely to be hoped that he reciprocates our good wishes. 

Mr. Connor has been occupying an apartment in the Dick’s home 
on Union Street since his arrival here at the Bay. Mrs. Connor is 
as delighted with Bay St. Louis as her husband. 

The LawtontStory Of 
“The Prince of Peace” 


(Movie-Review) 

Hallmark’s production of “THE 
PRINCE OF PEACE” is quite an 
impressive picture. It is a combi¬ 
nation of the Passion Play and a 
modern day tragedy. 

The theme of the play concerns 
: a pair of wrangling brothers and 
their six year old niece who brings 
j' the two men together by her win¬ 


some and loving ways. 

The picture took two years in 
the making and cost approximate¬ 
ly two million and a half dollars. 
Six Hollywood personalities take 
part along with three thousand cf 
the people of Lawton Oklahoma. 

The picture is based on a play 
that appeared about 1924 and orig- 
i inally performed by thirteen peo- 
! pie. 


Brother Lambert 
Dies In N. O. 

Brother Lambert, former pres¬ 
ident of Saint Stanislaus, died at 
the Mercy Hospital in New Or¬ 
leans Wednesday, November 8, 
at 6:10 p. m. 

Funeral services were held in 
the Church of Our Lady of the 
Gulf, Friday morning, November 
JOth at 9:00 a.m.; Rt. Rev. Msgr. 
A. J. Gmelch was the celebrant 
of the Requiem High Mass sung 
by the Brothers’ choir. 
iiNTERED INSTITUTE IN 1888 
Brother Lambert (Sidney Fair- 
field) was born in Port Huron, 
Michigan, November 17, 1876. He 
entered the Institute of the Bro- 
triers of the Sacred Heart at Ar- 
thabaskaville, Quebec, Canada, in 
1889 and was professed several 
years later. He was appointed to 
Saint Stanislaus as teacher in 
1895 and distinguished himself as 
a conscientious teacher with a 
marked ability to secure perfect 
discipline both in class and out of 
it. He remained at Saint Stan¬ 
islaus until after 1904 and assisted 
at the reconstruction of the Col¬ 
lege after the disastrous fire of 
the previous year. 

PRESIDENT OF STANISLAUS 
He served as vice-president on 
several occasions at Stanislaus, 
and was president for two terms, 
the last from 1919 to 1925. He 
was a popular administrator both 
with the townspeople and the 
parents of the students. 

APPOINTED PROVINCIAL 
Brother Lambert was highly 
esteemed by members of his or¬ 
der and was elected to repre¬ 
sent them at the highest coun¬ 
cils of the Brothers in Europe 
three times, in 1931 he was ap¬ 
pointed provincial Superior of the 
Brothers of the Sacred Heart in 
the United States; he held this 
position for two terms, resigning 
in 1937. The duties of this of- 
ice were arduous, especially with 
the depression at its height. The 
matter of financing the numer¬ 
ous works of the Brothers was 
a constant source of worry for 
him and resulted in undermining 
his health. ’ 

He served as principal of Saint 
\ioysius in New Orleans from 
1937 to 1943; Catholic High 
School in Baton Rouge from 1926 
to 1931; and D’Evereux Hall in 
Natchez from 1943 to 1945 when 
his health forced him to relin- 
luish most of his duties. 

RETURNED IN 1958 
Brother Lambert was retired 
to Saint Stanislaus September 23, 
1950; here he seemed to gain in 
vigor and strength. However, 
last week his heart began to show 
signs of strain and he was brought 
to New Orleans Monday evening 
and entered the hospital. 

Interment was in the Bro¬ 
thers’ cemetery on the grounds of 
Saint Stanislaus. 

Picture of the month — “Three 
Little Words” a musical comedy. 
Brother Leo obtained the music for 
our record player. Last week. 
Grant Gearheard harmonized with 
the girl singing, “I want To Be 
Loved By You”. Nice going, Grtni

; “The Bounty Trilogy” by Char- 
I les Nordhoff and James N. Hall, 
j This book comprises three vol¬ 
umes: Mutiny on the Bounty, Men 
j Against the Sea, and Pitcairn’s 
Island. 

j “Mutiny on the Bounty” which 
opens the story is concerned with 
the voyage from England to Ta¬ 
hiti of His Mayesty’s armed trans¬ 
port the “Bounty”. Her errand was 
to collect a cargo of young bread¬ 
fruit trees at Tahiti and thereby 
transport them to the West Indies, 
where it was hoped, the trees 
would thrive and provide an abun¬ 
dance of cheap food for the negro 
slaves of English planters. But on 
her homeward voyage after ob¬ 
taining the trees at Tahiti, the 
crew mutinied and sent the cap¬ 
tain and officers of the vessel off 
on a small launch. 

“Men Against the Sea”, the sce- 
ond part of the narrative, is the 
of Captain Bligh and the 


Congratiations to Marian Green, T4, on his re-election as Pr< 
ident of the New Orleans Athletic Club.

THANKSGIVING 


To most young people Thanksgiving Day means a holi- 
dayT a swell Turkey dinner and then complete relaxation. 
v T.o me it means more than mere pleasure. 




m 


The United States is the only country which sets aside 
^ l’ob0 day of the year to render to Almighty God, the thanks 
of the whole Nation for benefits received. Individually, 
j* v we do thank God for His All Seeing Eye upon us at all 
vp ...times, but as a whole we set aside this particular day that 
: ; all may participate in rendering thanks. 


M 

i&'p; 


Individually and collectively we can thank God for the 
"Inuhificent privilege of living in a country which extends 
.... . ip all of us that freedom to give to God all the worship due 
,,, v , Him. In contrast look at the countries behind the Iron 
. Curtain who have been deprived of this privilege, and 
in fact, are persecuted if they attempt to exercise their 
. right to worship God. It is therefore, very easy to realize 
our blessings when we consider the misfortune of others.

eighteen loyal men who were set 
adrift in the Bounty’s launch. This 
is the story of their hardships and 
struggle for survival on the high 
seas. 

“Pitcairn’s Island”, which con¬ 
cludes the tale, is the strangest 
and most romantic part. After 
trying unsuccessfully to settle on 
an island the mutineers returned 
to Tahiti where they parted com¬ 
pany. Fletcher Christian, the lead¬

Some other interesting books re¬ 
cently added to the library are: 
“The Waters of Siloe” by Thomas 
Merton (author of Seven Storied 
Mountains), “Friar Felix at Large” 
in which a Dominican brother re¬ 
lates his experiences on a 15th 
century pilgrimage to the Holy 
Land. “The Mayos” (Pioneers in 
Medicine), and “Father Flanagan 
of Boys Town.” 


Thanks to James Terrell, 1892, for his alumni dues. As far 
we can recall he is the oldest member of the Association who 
still active and interested in the activities of Saint Stanislaus. 

Two members of Class 1925 have sons playing on the Varsi 
squad—Joe Scafidi has two boys, Andrew and Joseph, Jr. The la 
ter is also a member of the Class of 1951. Norton Haas has 
son playing a regular berth. Walter Gex, ’24, had his son Har 
well suffer an injury in the early season which has put him on t] 
side-line. F^ank Wittman has his son Frank playing a regu] 
guard position. Qeorge Falgout, ’30, has son Bobby who is a hi

Among the sons of alumni in this year’s senior class we ha) 
Bruce Favre, (the fifth son of the A. G. Favre famlyi), Stant 
Rosenblath, Vincent Banville, Liston Gardebled, Victor Maumus, 
Joseph Scafidi.

As future citizens we are expected to 'take an interest

Weightlifting, a sport that has its ups and downs (pretty good 
), is slowly moving back into one of the top popularity spots. The 
/turning weightlifters from last year renewed their exercises with- 
fi the season’s first month. New* boys flocked to it but a large 
imber were disappointed because of the scarcity of equipment 
t\d space. As of now there are two complete barbell sets and an- 
her is expected soon. All of the equipment so far belongs to three 
%s. This is a great change from three years ago when Walter 
yttle, (Class of ’50)alone, introduced the sport, using rocks and 
^oomsticks dipped in cement. In a few years hundreds of boys 
ill be thankful to Walt.

It’s Only A Dogs Life But It Is Great Fun 


Marcel Anderson is a little fel¬ 
low of the. fifth grade who has a 
most faithful and loving cocker¬ 
el spaniel, named Brownie. Borw- 
wnie follows Marcel just like the 
little lamb that gamboled after 
Mary of the nursery rhyme, “every 
where that Mary went, the lamb 
was sure to go.” That little lamb 
had nothing on Brownie, he is 
here at school every day, in fact, 
more than many students. 

Brownie arrives at school every 
morning about eight o’clock. He 
has to get that pre-school time 
play as well as Marcel. When the 
bell rings, Brownie can be seen 
trotting down Second Street ior 
home. Along about 11:30 Brownie 
appears near the bicycle rack 
waiting most patiently for Marcel 
to be dismissed for lunch. Need¬ 
less to say, Brownie is always 
happy to see his little friend. It’s 
a good thing he has a strong little 
body or his tail would certainly be 
lost through centrifugal force. 

After lunch Marcel and Brownie 
are again back rather early in 
order to play in a touch-football 
game. Brownie used to get into 
this game at the beginning of 
school, but now remains close to 
the side line to wait until his hero 
grabs a pass. Then Brownie gets 
his chance to run down the field 
to help make the touch-down. All 
too soon dog and boy are called to 
duty. The ringing of the 1 o’clock 
bell cuts all play short. Why did 
they invent bells for little boys, 
'anyway? 


As the boys enter school, little 
Brownie sees that Marcel is in 
his proper place in line, and little 
Brownie trots away rather dis¬ 
consolately for home, only to re¬ 
turn just before 3 o’clock dismissal. 

This period has always mysti¬ 
fied Brownie. Marcel is now dec¬ 
ked out in strange clothes and has 
oecome most interested in a new 
Kind of football. Brownie has to 
keep well to the side line, as 
chose kids play rather rough and 
have no care for a little dogs 
paws. Strange to say, Marcel'does 
not always see that Brownie is 
ready to help as ever, bat apparen¬ 
tly there is little for a dog to do in 
the way of tackling. Of course 
he does add his barks in the way 
ji cneers wnenever lviarcei car¬ 
ries the ball. He would like to 
take a nip at some would-be- 
tackler’s ankles, but every body 
seems to object i > tn s tyo 
of play. So no more attempts 
are made to get into this funny 
game. 

Brownie has an idea that his 
job of watching Marcel is get¬ 
ting to be burdensome not to 
say tiresome. This trotting back 
and forth from home six times 
a day is getting to be a bit wear¬ 
ing on the pads, but really and 
truly it is a dog’s life, and why 
should Brownie worry as long as 
he is happy and contented, and 
most satisfied with what life has 
given him. 


Hallowe’en Party 
Enjoyed By All 


Four Days Off 
For Thanksgiving 


(By Gene Schwartz) 

If the good people of Bay St. 
Louis awakened the morning of 
All Saints Day and found their 
front lawns as spick and span as 
when they retired the night before 
they should return thanks to Mr. 
Walter Dupaquier and the coach of 
St. Joseph’s Academy. Both were 
instrumental in giving the boys 
and girls other ideas and at the I 
same time put on a party which j 
was immensely enjoyed by every¬ 
one. 

The scene of the party was at 
the farm of Mr. Dupaquier. He 
has plenty of space for just such 
a party and for entertaining a big | 
crowd of youngsters. The girls did , 
a nice job of decorating in what 1 
I guess they call the Hollowe’en 
theme. Any way, there was plenty 
of gold and black trimmings in 
every conspicuous place. 

Some of our so-called Don Juans 
had ideas of taking a promenade j 
into the nearby woods with belles, j 
but seemingly they were back in I 
the fold pronto — at least as soon | 


(Phil Scheurer) 

Classes will be dismissed from 
November 22 to the Monday fol¬ 
lowing the Thanksgiving Holidays. 
Four days free from the labors of 
school. 

Boarders whose homes are within 
a reasonable distance from school 
and whose school records and 
conduct are up to par will be per¬ 
mitted the holidays. This vacation 
comes as a welcome break at this 
particular time of year. 

This vacation also marks a 
break in the long history of Saint 
Stanislaus. In previous years, the 
feast day came upon the usual 
weekly holiday hence, no extra 
days were free for Thanksgiving. 

It goes without saying that all 
the student Boarders as well as 
Day pupils are most delighted 
with the new arrangement. We 
hope the Brothers too, will enjoy 
the days and permit them a chance 
to relax.

Little Study Hall 


SENIORS ATTEMPT ARMY QUIZ 


Nine Seniors who may have to 
answer the summons of the presi¬ 
dent to appear for Army induc¬ 
tion before another year, put their 
brains down to the so-called hard 
test given by the Army to all in¬ 
ductees. 

All those who had the opportu¬ 
nity of penciling the quiz before 
we went to press had qualified 
for the Army dequirement of 100 
points. 

Ronald Gross who hit the mark 
of 117 said, “It wasn’t very hard 
except for the block questions. 
Maybe my eyes deceived me.” 

A1 Burns made 106. His comment 
was, “All the test needs is con¬ 
centration. Some more of this in 
the beginning of the quiz and I 
know I could have done better.” 

Billy Huvar also hit 117 out of 
150 and his comment was: “It is 
a very easy test, if you think of 
what you are doing all the time.” 

Stanton Rosenblath made exact¬ 
ly 100, and upon finishing said, 
“Any High School Senior should 
have an easy time with this quiz.” j 
Jimmy Holmes who fininshed the i 
test in thirty-five minutes, five | 
less than time allotted, made 130 , 
out of a possible 150 had this to J 
say, “With any kind of a foundat- 1 
ion behind you, the test is easy. I 
Can’t see why so much fuss is 
being made about it being dif¬ 
ficult.” 


Jossy Mansur, a native of fj 
Nethrelands West Indies, hit b 
score of 111. The only difficult 
he found was with the block pr; 
blems. In fact, many of the bo j 
had the same trouble. Must 
eye trouble. Any way, Jossy do* 
not have to worry, as he does r 
have to face this test for “keep: 

Gilbert Schmidt also found tt 
blocks a bit troublesome, but 1 
managed to get under the wire | 
time to score 120 out of 150. 

John Lutz, w r ho claims to ha 
good eyes, in fact, he says thi 
are perfect 20-20, still had a ba 
rier to hurdle when it came to t 
block problems. Nevertheless 
hit for 131, and was second hig| 
est among the Seniors. 

Phil Scheurer, your Editc: 
found the test rather easy, b| 
again the blocks caused him soil 
worry. He almost lost on till 
when a little problem vexed hiri 
He was thinking along algebra¬ 
ical lines when simple arithmel 
was needed. He registered a boul 
cing 132 to lead his classmates : 
the test. 

Sorry there was not sufficie: 
time to get a cross section of til 
whole Senior class as to the tek 
Maybe next time when the ROCI 
A-CHAW arrives there will 1 
more comments.

THE ROCK-A-CJJAW 


-Stanislaus Whips 
McGill 25 to 6 


Stanislaus tasted sweet revenge 
|on the McGill Yellow Jackets in 
their encounter last week when 
{they met on the Stanislaus grid¬ 
iron. The Rocks held the long end 
of the score at the final whistle 
;25 to 6. 

Rooney sparked the Rocks by 
punching over two touchdowns 
during the game. His first early in 
j the first period was a jaunt cf 55 
Vyards through tackle; he repeated 
in the second quarter on a fa ice 
spinner for 48 yards. 

The second marker of the game 
through an error on the part of 
the McGill quarterback who tried 
to make two yards on 4 th down 
but was unsuccessful. The Rocks 
took over on their own 40. Then 
made three successive first downs 
which brought the ball to the Mc¬ 
Gill 20. Holmes passed Don Ma¬ 
this for a touchdown. Rooney con¬ 
verted from placement. 

Later in the second period Stan¬ 
islaus intercepted a Jacket pass 
on the McGill 35,ran the ball to 
the 25. On the first play a pass 
from Holmes to Farrell Gaudet 
was good for the last score of the 
Rocks. 

The second half was played al¬ 
most entirely in McGill territ- 
: ory but the offense of the Rocks 
seemed to have bogged down. 
Just before the end of the 3rd 
— - period McGill recovered a Rock 
fumble on the 12. On the third 
play Cieutat punched over the 
lone marker from the Stanislaus 
. two yard line. The attempt at 
placement went wide of the mark.

Rocfyachaws 31 
Picayune 7 


The Rockachaws upset the well 
known cart when they met Pic¬ 
ayune two weeks ago. When the 
last whistle had blown the Rocks 
had totalled 31 points to the Ma¬ 
roons 7. 

The Rock down field blocking 
was the best of the season and 
held the Maroon tide in bay all 
the evening. The Picayune team 
threatened at least three times to 
score, but the alertness of the ends 
and the backfield stopped Whit¬ 
field twice when it looked as if 
he mighe score. 

The line played a whale of a 
game in stopping plays before 
they could get started. Despite the 
fact that Picayune made 15 first 
downs to the Rock’s 12, the Ma¬ 
roon Tide covered only 168 yards 
by rushing. 


Junior Rocks 14 
Fortier Minnows 6 


The Juniors got off to a good 
start against the Fortier Minnov/s 
scoring a touchdown in the first 
quarter when Johnny Saravnja 
skirted left end for 25 yards and 
the first marker. Henry Capdepon’s 
educated toe added the extra point 
from placement. 

The second touchdown came 
through in the 3rd quarter when 
Capdepon flipped a 30 yard pass 
to Sarvanja who again crossed 
the goal line. Capdepon added the 
extra point by kicking through 
the posts. 

Fortier added its lone tally in 
the last quarter by a drive down 
field from their own 35. A series 
of line plays and a 25 yard end 
run brought them to pay dirt.

islaus Rock-a-chaws journeyed to 
Petal, Miss., and chalked up their 
first road victory of the year ag¬ 
ainst the Petal Panthers to the 
tune of 6 to 0. 

Held to a scoreless first half, the 
Rocks kept punching away and 
finally managed to let Jimmy 
Holmes circle right end and cut 
back up to the middle and dash 
45 yards for the nights’ only score. 
Employing a seven, an eight and 
sometimes a nine man line, the 
Panthers were able to keep the 
Rock ace, Jerry Rooney in check. 
Several times, he managed to slip 
through the line only to be caught 
by the secondary playing in close. 

The Rocks passing attack was 
a fizzle with the result that the 
Petal club was able to maintain 
its unorthodox line play. Jimmy 
Holmes threw well and should 
have had two TD’s by way of the 
air but ends Jerry Lyttle and 
Teddy Gabb had cold fingers. 
Both passes were dropped. 

The Petal offense was almost 
nil. Only once did they get with¬ 
in the 30 yard line of the Rocks 
and that was the 25. They had 
all they could do to bottle the 
Rock offense up and seem to be 
willing to play for a tie. However, 
Holmes’ scintillating sprint en¬ 
ded all hopes. The Rock-a-chaws 
were pounding down cn the Petal 
20 when the final whistle blew 
to give the Stanislaus eleven their 
fourth victory in their last five 
games. The other game ended in 
a 19 to 19 tie with Columbia, 
three weeks ago. 

Jimmy Holmes, Jerry Rooney 
and Roger Heitzmann played well 
on the offense with “Big Luke’' 
Cauruso, Paul Palermo, Don Luc 
and A1 Burns leading on defense. 


(By Roger Manfre) 

Due to the fact that so few 
schools in Mississippi or nearby 
points carry boxing as an athletic 
event, it was decided this year at 
Saint Stanislaus not to participate 
in interscholastic boxing, but in 
event there is a State Tournament 
anywhere, this would not prevent 
our entering all classes. 

But Stanislaus will have boxing. 
It will be intramural, and this idea 
will very probably bring out more 
contestants than heretofore. From 
time to time there will be open 
events for the public, but more of 
this later when the football season 
has been put to sleep for another 
season. 


SOCCER TEAMS 
PLAN FOR MEETS 


Junior Rocks 
Tied McGill 6 - 6 


(By Jossy Mansur) 

Soccer football was re-introduc¬ 
ed to Saint Stanislaus in 1948 by 
Brother Flavian who was then 
Athletic Director. Last year, Bro¬ 
ther Leo, Senior Prefect took over 
the organization and great strides 
were made in this interesting 
sport.. At this writing, games are 
pending with Demonstration of 
’ Hattiesburg, Gulfcoast Military, 
and the Forest County Aggies. 

This season Alfred Canler is 
handling the Coaching and doing a 
fine job in getting the boys in ; 
prime condition for the campaign ! 
which will get under way as soon ! 
as the regular football season has 
been completed. 

Almost half the team is com¬ 
posed of newcomers. Their ad¬ 
dition will mean an even better 
balanced team than any previous 
year. Canler has done much to 
coordinate the best of the material 
at hand. 


(By Roger Manfre) 

The Junior Rock-A-Chaws first 
homecoming game Saturday night 
with McGill of Mobile, ended in 
a tie, 6 to 6 . 

It was the Rocks second en¬ 
counter with the Yellow Jackets 
when they defeated them in a 
previous meeting 12 to 7. “Old 
Man Winter” made it rough on 
everybody, as a result only a small 
crowd was on hand to see the 
game. 

The first half was slow with 
neither team threatening. McGill 
scored first in the third period 
when Philips fumbled a Yellow 
Jacket punt and an unidentified 
player ran 34 yards to score. The 
try for the extra point failed. 



The Saint Stanislaus Soccer team 
in the two previous years had no 
defeat chalked up against them. 
The 1950 squad are out to repeat 
and hope to keep the victory flag 
waving in the Rockachaw domain. 


Jerry Rooney, St. Stanislaus’ star fullback, is one of' the 
high scorers in the state. At the present time he has nine 
T. D.’s to his credit. Jerry is a junior and tips the scales 
at 170 pounds. He is from New Orleans, and played first 
string for Redemptorist before he transferred to the Col¬ 
lege two years ago.

The Stanislaus Juniors played

ainst the Picayune Wavelets last 
Friday finally putting across two 
I touchdowns in the last quarter 
| to win 12 to 6. 

1 Picayune scored in the opening 
! minutes of the third quarter. A 
recovered fumble in the Stanislaus 
territory opened the way for the 
score. A pass from the Stanislaus 
j 25 yard line making the score. The 
, attempted pass for the extra point 
failed when the receiver allowed 
the ball to fall through his hands. 

Johnny Saravanja scored both 
markers for The Stanislaus Jun¬ 
iors. One on a pass from Henry 
Capdepon and the second as the 
finish of a drive from the Stanis¬ 
laus 40. Johnny carried over from 
the Picayune 25.

is Phil’s second year or rather third year 
on the Staff of the school paper. His ambi- 
i on is to make this year the best since it was 
started. He also asks that every one can be 
a contributor. “We have some pretty good 
re-write men on the Staff, so don’t be afraid 
of making mistakes in any story you may 
have in your mind. We want writers.” 


GERALD SHIELDS, Associate Editor. Jerry’s second year on the 


Staff. He has been interested in Boxing, 
but health forced him to quit this strenu¬ 
ous sport. He is now trying to interest some 
of the other students in weightlifting. He al¬ 
ready has several disciples. Gerald has 
been around Stanislaus for about seven 
years. He is now a Senior. Next year he 
expects to be working for Uncle Sam as an 
Army man, or maybe a Marine.

“To one who does not under- 
stand the finesse of American | 
football, the process would ^em 
to be as follows.” 


“The teams form up crouch - | 
ing and facing each other. The ball j 
is flicked out backwards, which i 
.3 a sign lor everybody to fall on 
everybody else and engage in a ; 
death struggle. The result is a; 
tangled mass of more or less mut- 
iliated humanity, but after the 
referee blows his whistle.” 


JOE CLARK, feature Editor. Joe is counting this his second year 
at jSaint Stanislaus. He hails from Shreve¬ 
port, Louisiana. While in Shreveport he 
attended Byrd High. He is a basketball 
enthusiast, and will try hard to make the 
Varsity team this year. Joe was the Ten¬ 
nis Champ of the school last season. He 
also won matches against McGill and a 
couple of the Coast schools last year. 



CHAPPY STEWART is not a member of the Editorial Staff, but 
he does a great job in handling the Canteen 
along with Roger Manfre. Chappy also finds 
time to help along with any kind of con¬ 
struction work being done around the Cam¬ 
pus. His accomplishments are many: he is 
a good painter, a darn good carpenter, and 
a swell cement Worker. In fact, any kind of 
manuel work is right down his alley.

“The game is then stopped and 
heap has seethed sufficiently, the 
the bail is given to one team or 
the other. Why the referee should 
have any preference in the matter 
is known only to the addicts of 
the legalized mayhem. To me it 
was an entire mystery”. 


“This side which has won the 
ball goes into a committee meet¬ 
ing, right on the playing field, 
and always adopts the same meth¬ 
ods. Namely, they form a circle, 
bend over so that the “hush-hush” 
instructions of the leader is not 
heard by the opposition. When 
they have decided upon their 
plan of campaign which takes 
some little time, they again form 
up-looking daggers at each other- 
and the game begins anew with 
flailing elbows and sometimes a 
fist or two gets away from its 
owner.”

Have you ever seen a boy who 
was all thumbs? Well, I had at 
that particular moment at least 
a half dozer* extra thumbs. I rush¬ 
ed to the kitchen to replenish 
the water. And, in the meantime, 
you never heard such a cater¬ 
wauling in your life. Joanne was 
bursting the duct glands of her 
eyes and straining her throat and 
my ears. 

Just then sister and her husband 
arrived on the scene. He grabbed 
the wastebasket in one swoop and 
out the window it went. That’s 
what I should have done in the 
first place. 

After listening very, very pat¬ 
iently to a tirade from sister con¬ 
cerning my mental equipment, I 


firmly resolved there and then, 
never, never again would I be in¬ 
duced to be a baby sitter, no mat¬ 
ter what the inducemen + might 
have in store.

“Every game is divided into 
four quarters, by which you 
must not infer that there is any 
sort of quarter given or asked. 
Although I have never seen any 
carried to the cemetery as Joe 
Stalin talked about. O, yes, there 
is of course a ball in the game, but 
it is seldom seen, usually it is 
buried somewhere around the per¬ 
son toting it—and some million 
yelling Americans sit out in the 
coldest weather and say they en¬ 
joy this murder on the turf.”

I Been reading the daily papers 
lately? If so, every one must re- 
lize that our goal line is being 
hreatenecl over in Korea. Looks 
as if every one on the bench is 
going to be called into the game. 
You know while thinking of our 
. prowess, we might try to rely a 
bit more on prayer for PEACE.

The pre-Thanksgiving dance 
,, sponsored by the Junior class was 
l a dilly. The new Juke Box obtain¬ 
ed by Brother Leo was put to good

More than 8j priests and hun¬ 
dreds of out of town guests at¬ 
tended the Eucharistic Conference 
held here Wednesday. The crowd 
was one of the largest to ever 
attend such a conference in this 
diocese. 

The conference opened with a 
procession of the religious to Our 
Lady of the Gulf Church. As the 
Most Reverend Richard O. Gerow, 
D. D., Bishop of Natchez, ap¬ 
proached the door of the church, 
the Fourth Degree Knights of 
Columbus of the Pere Le Due 
Council, who acted as honor 
guards, formed an arch, with their 
swords, for the Bishop. After 
this ceremony, the Solemn Pon¬ 
tifical Mass followed with Bishop 
Gerow as the celebrant. 

The sermon was given by the 
Reverend Josiah G. Chatham, J. 
C. D., who spoke on the Blessed 
Eucharist. At the afternoon ser¬ 
vices, the sermon was given by 
the Reverend Jeremiah Harnett 
of Biloxi. Monsignor A. J. 
Gmelch presided at the Holy 
Hour. 

Numerous conferences were 
held throughout the day for both 
the religious and the laity. Among 
those giving talks at the lay con¬ 
ferences were Adolphe D’Aquin of 
Our Lady of the Gulf Parish, Miss 
Jean Knost of St. Paul’s Parish 
; in Pass Christian, Jerry J. O’¬ 
Keefe of Nativity Parish in Bi¬ 
loxi, and Mrs. Mary Hoffman of 
St. Thomas’ Parish in Long Beach. 
General discussions by the audi¬ 
ence followed these talks. 


Stanislaus Accepts 
Cypress Bowl Bid 

The Saint Stanislaus football 
team has accepted an invitation 
to participate in the annual Cy¬ 
press Bowl at Lutcher, Sunday 
afternoon. The Terrebonne High 
School of Houma will be the 
Rockachaw opponent. 

Terrebonne High football team 
is an AA contingent in the Louis¬ 
iana High School Athletic Asso¬ 
ciation. This year they won nine 
of ten games played. The only 
loss was to Catholic High of 
Baton Rouge, and that by a lone 
point, 20 to 19. 

Stanislaus has won 6, lost two 
and tied one. The team uses a 
T-formation, and this year has 
shown a wonderful reversal of 
form under Coach Dick Thames 
who is just completing his first 
year as hqad coach. 

The Rockachaw line has been 
great on defensive play all sea¬ 
son with veterans Luke Caruso, 
A1 Burns, Joe Scafidi, Andrew 
Scafidi, and Paul Palermo. They 
have been ably assisted by Frank 
Witmann, a Pass Christian young¬ 
ster who tips the beam at 155. 
Others are Mike Haas, another 
left-over guard from the previous 
season, and Joe Kersanac, Mau¬ 
rice /Shannon, Don Luc, Pat Mc- 
Curnin and Bruce Favre. 

In the backfield, Jerry Rooney 
has been one of the outstanding 
backs in the state. In the last 
game against Gulf Coast Military 
he ran his scoring mark up to 
86 points for the season. Then 
there is Bill Huvar from Texas]

BROTHER PETER XMAS FUND 


There are many things which may 
be attributed to the goodness of the 
late Brother Peter. But one that is 
close to the hearts of all at St. Stanis¬ 
laus is the Annual Christmas Tree Fund 
which he originated. It has come to 
be a part of the school the same as so 
many of his other projects. 

Because of his great love of chil 
dren he determined to do somethin! 
which would make Christmas a happy 
occasion for the deserving tots of Bay St. Louis and sur¬ 
rounding areas. Now, that Brother Peter has passed to 
his eternal reward the Christmas Tree Fund remains in his 
memory. We hope that this year it will be even a greater 
success than it was in previous years. 

I do not think it necessary to ask you to give freely to 
so worthy a cause. Past years are proof enough of your 
kind generosity.—Phil Scheurer.

As football draws to a close, basketball moves in to resume 
its position among the athletics here at St. Stanislaus . . . Sixty- 
two boys submitted their names to Coach Thames last Monday 
and it is hoped that from these entries he can produce some talented 
performers. Lyttle, Rooney and Caruso are the only lettermen who 
will return this year . . . Some other members who saw action 
last year but net enough to letter will be back on the team. 

• * * 

Basketball practice was set aside to allow the Varsity football 
players to squeeze in a little practice for the Cypress Bowl to be 
held in Lutcher, December 3rd. . - Terreborne High will be in 
there fighting, so you Rocks had better lay into them. 

• * * 

The Fleas and Flies will be battling it out Sunday in the 34th 
annual playing, of this game . . . The "f'Teas will be out to avenge 
their loss to the Flies last year by a mere two points, 33-35. 

* * • 

Orchids go to the Junior team and the Pebbles for some fine 
playing this past season . . . The Junior team won 4 of their games, 
lost 2 and tied 2 . . . The Pebbles however didnt’ have as many 
games this season but managed to do Well in those they did play. 

• • * 

The other afternoon while talking with Coach Thames I noticed 
he seemed down in the dumps and "When asked the reason for his 
• adness he answered, “I just bought a book on boxing and now 
they tell me there isn’t going to be any boxing team this year.” 

# 

Congratulations are in order to Brother Alvin for his excel¬ 
lent and efficient work he performed as Head Coach of the Junior

Sighs of relief and waters eyes were seen 
and heard around the Campus this week as 
the second term test results were publishd 
Seniors w»ho had eyes on a NROTC program 
for next year took some of the results as 
knock-outs. They had visions of seeing some 
Koreans long before they anticipated.

The Junior Class will sponsor a dance 
Tuesday, i December 19th. Brother Leo, 
class advisor, has already begun the prepa¬ 
rations. Materials with the Christmas colors 
will be most prominent. For your infor¬ 
mation, there will be a limited number of 
♦Stag tickets. A word to the wise—better 
get your dates lined up ahead of time. Naw, that don’t mean an 
extra present to be given.

At last after many rumors' as to Bcwi games being tipped our 
v;iay, the Rockachaws have finally landed one at - Lutcher; The 
tanislaus team will meet Terrebonne High School in the Cypress 
'owl. This will be the fourteenth annual bowl for the Lutcher 

people.

While summing up the thanks for Stanislaus students, all thought 
of the week-end breaks was forgotten. All, who have made the 
grade, have had an opportunity of getting home at least one week¬ 
end, plus the Thanksgiving Day holidays . . . This week the Seniors 
and Juniors are off again—just in time for the LSU-Tulane game 
—Boy, oh boy, what a break!

Don’t forget the big game Sunday afternoon on the Stanislaus

some cheers. t

The Stanislaus Band Auxiliary held its initial meeting of the 
~ession recently, Mrs. Rosalie Benigno was elected president; Mrs. 
Lucien M. Gex, Vice President; Mrs. Joseph Kern, Secretary, and 
Mrs. Joseph R. Scharff, Treasurer. This organization has been in 
’orma ion only a year, but during that time it has done much to 
help the band. Membership dues are merely nominal. It is the 
aim of this organization to get every Mother who has a son play¬ 
ing in the band or who is taking music to become an active member 
of the Auxiliary.

THREE S S C STUDENTS 
CHOSEN FOR BAND CLINIC 


(By Larry Scharff) 

Three members of the St. Stan¬ 
islaus Band — Jimmy Williams, 
bass; Henry Capdepon, baritone 
sax; and Larry Scharff, clarinet, 
have been chosen for Mississippi 
Band Clinic to be held at Green¬ 
ville on the 7th, 8th and 9th of 
December. 

Two fully instrumented, ninety 
piece bands make up the clinic. 
One consists of musicians from 
high-schools designated as “CC” 
and lower, and, the other is com¬ 
posed of band members from 
schools with classifications higher 
than “CC”. These bands are known 
as the Blue and Gray Bands re¬ 
spectively. 

This year the clinic band mem¬ 
bers will have a tryout for posi¬ 
tions in their respective sections. 
This makes the positional place¬ 
ments depend entirely on talent 
and merit rather than years in 
band. 

David Hughes, Associate Pro 
fessor of Music at Jordan Conser 
vatory, Indianapolis, Indiana, will 
be guest-conductor at the three 
day band festival. J. H. Rennick, 
director of the Greenville High 
School Band, is the clinic chair- 


The letter sent out by your President, Walter J. Gex, Jr., has been 
receiving nice responses from many directions. Our first meeting 
will be in Donaldsonville on the 17th. Approximately one hundred 
and ten men of tne Association live in this district ana ail are witnin 
easy riding distance of Donaldsonville. We are looking forward to a 
large gatnering. All who live in this district are being asked to 
contact Mr. Frank S. Noel that they will oe on hand ior the noon 
luncheon on Sunday, Decemoer 17th. The Lafayette meeting nas noi 
been fixed as we still do not have a place fixed for the meeting. 
Perhaps by the time you will have read this, you will have received 
a communication from your Secretary. We are also awaiting word 
from the folks in Jennings regarding a place to meet. As soon as we 
find the information, it will be sent out. 

As for the Coast, we hope to have group meetings some time 
after Christmas. The time and place will oe sent ail aiumni m this 
locality in sufficient time to make necessary arrangements.

LOOKING ’EM OVER 


(Phil Sheurer) 

It seems that the Sea Sprite has 
taken on the job of modernizing 
Shakespearian plays. The little 
poem about Macbeth which ap¬ 
peared in their recent issue was 
very amusing. According to the 
information I received, Anne 
Chapman was the author. Nice 
going Anne, that’s the kind of 
copy that puts life into a school 
paper. 

Congratulations to Lois Stou- 
fflet of Bay High for her editorial, 
“Why I Like Being an American,” 
which was published in the Oct. 
31 issue of the “Students Prints.” 
We feel that it expresses the sen¬ 
timents of all true Americans. 

A very interesting article which 
appeared in “The Questor”, pub¬ 
lished by the students of St. Paul’s 
Academy, Washington, D. C., “Fa 
tima of Football.” It tells the sad 
truth of how the message of Fa¬ 
tima is being ignored, and reminds 
us that if we really desire world 
peace we will heed the warnings 
of “Our Blessed Lady”, 


Congratulations to Marchie Schwartz and his Stanford team against 
Army and California. The Indians of Stanford sort of made Coach 
Blaik look sick with only 7 points. Dopesters had the score fixed at 
27. Marchie must have put in some extra punch to keep California 
down to a tie.

Henry Weidman and Lix Fruge called in last week to see us. Both 
had just completed a retreat at Xavier Hall, Pass Christian, with the

for the Alumni grouping. Tentative dates were fixed for early 
January.

Sideline Club 
Honors Football 
Squad Tuesday 


The annual football banquet 
sponsored by the Saint Stanislaus 
Sideline Club will be held in the 
new dining hall Tuesday evening, 
December 19, starting at 7:30 p.m. 

Coach Henry Frnka has kindly 
consented to be with the boys for 
the occasion, or in event that pres¬ 
sure of business keeps him away, 
he will send a worthy substitute. 

According to pretty well formed 
rumors the following will receive 
letter-awards: Jimmy Holmes, 

John Guthrie, Billy Huvar, John 
Caruso, Gilbert Schmidt, Jerry 
Rooney, Farrell Gaudet, Robert 
Castillo, Bobby Falgout, Jerry 
Lyttle, Russell Laguaite, Teddy 


Gabb, Patrick McCurnin, Paul 
Palermo, Albert Burns, Dick 
Shannon, Roger Heitzmann, Mon¬ 
roe Kimball, Jack Ehlinger, Jimmy 
Gilmore, Donald Mathes, Charles 
Curet, Billy Blake, Luke Caruso, 
Joe Scafidi, Joe Kersanac, Donald 
Luc, Bruce Favre, Frank Whitt- 
mann, Ralph Hille, Andrew Sca¬ 
fidi and Mike Haas. The mana¬ 
gers, Clarence Kimble and Vin¬ 
cent Liberto, will also receive 
awards. 

The Sideline Club has several 
trophies which will be awarded 
for special purposes to the various 
members of the team. 

The Rock-A-Chaws hung an en¬ 
viable record for the season with 
six victories, two losses and one 
tie. They also lost the post-season 
encounter with Terrebonne at the 
Cypress Bowl in Lutcher. This 
latter may have been caused by 
the most unseasonable weather of 
the year. The boys just could not 
get warmed up enough to put a 
zip into the game. 


Wounded In Actio 

Lieutenant Raymond Thom 
Carrio, Jr., son of Mr. and Mi 
Carrio of Bay St. Louis, w 
wounded in North Korea aroui 
November 25, according to a te 
egram received this week. He 
now in a hospital in Yokohom 
Japan. 

Lt. Carrio was stationed wi 
the 9th Infantry, Second Divisio 
U. S. Army. He left for oversei 
duty September 30, 1950. 

Carrio was graduated from O 
ficers’ Candidate School at Fo 
Riley, Kansas, March 25, 1950. 

He is married to the formi 
Stella Kohler of Fort Smith, A: 
kansas. 

Lieutenant Carrio is a gradua 
of St. Stanislaus of the Class < 
1947. We hope that his conditic 
has improved and that he is u 
and around by now. 


GEX, JACOBI TAKE 
HIGHEST SELLER AWARD 

The annual Classic between the 
Fleas and Flies ended in the smal¬ 
lest score made in many years. The 
Flies took the game 12 to 8. 

A cold Northwest wind played 
havoc with play throughout the 
encounter. Those on the sidelines 
made good use of the blankets 
provided for their use, but the 
spectators forgot to bring along 
any blankets and it was only the 
Polar Bears who were able to re¬ 
main until the bitter end. 

On the opening of the game the 
Flies received. Donald “PeeWee” 
Cuevas set up the score with a 
forty yard run. Mighty Kenneth 
Kramer went over for the first 
marker. The attempt at conver¬ 
sion failed. 

In the third quarter, Leroy Ne¬ 
caise scored on an " end-around 
play after Gus Thomas had set 
up the touchdown by skirting end 
for 45 yards. 

In the fifth quarter, the Fleas 
marched down field with a sprink¬ 
ling of fine plays, but were held 
on the three yard line by a deter¬ 
mined stand on the part of the 
Flies. 

In the last quarter, the Flies 
were up against the wall. They 
were forced to punt behind-dheir 
own goal line, but before they 
could get the kick away, the pun¬ 
ter was tackled and the Fleas 
hung up two points on a safety. 

A short time later, on a partially 
blocked punt the Fleas took over 
the ball on the Fly 35. Yates went 
through center for the lone touch¬ 
down of the Fleas. Again the at¬ 
tempt at conversion was blocked. 
Final score, Flies 12, Fleas 8. 

The Captains of the two teams 
were Walter Gex,III, and Herman 
Jacobi, respectively. Walter won 
the football for the highest seller 
of tickets while Jacobi won the 
Stanislaus jacket for being next 
in line. 

Other Captains were: Joe Car- 
roll and George Cassard of the 
Fleas, and Edmond Fahey and 
Parker Maurie of the Flies.

Drive Sanely And Enjoy The Holidays 


The above title is not to be considered a wise crack. It 
means exactly as the word implies. There have been so 
many accidents laid to the door of “teenagers” that a new 
word has been added to the dictionary namely, “Teenicide.” 
Funk and Wagnalls will include this word in the next sup¬ 
plement of their dictionary: “Teenicide (noun) 1. Death 
caused by automobile driver under 20 years of age, usually 
the result of recklessness or immature judgment; 2. A term 
used to denote fact that persons under 20 years of age are 
involved in a disproportionately high number of fatalities 
in the Unted States.” 

As drivers we can be careful at all times. We must 
look for the other fellow as well as the road ahead of us. It 
is also good to recall another very potent slogan: alcohol 
and gasoline do not mix. Almost all State Directors of 
Safety advice most strongly at every holiday period, “if 
you drink, don’t drive; if you drive, don’t drink.” 

For the country boys, don’t get into your heads that 
all automoble accidents happen in the cities. Last year 
there were 22,000 killed in rural areas, all from traffic acci¬ 
dents.

PEEPING THRU

It looks as if Christmas is rolling 
around again, because the boys 
are looking over the finest stock 
in Kern’s 5 & 10 . . .Heard Jimmy 
was getting a Baby Panther Doll 
and Paul, a little Rubber Rabbit. 
These surely would look nice un¬ 
der someone’s Christmas tree . . . 
It seems the “Screwball’ H. has 
been getting quite a lot of local 
fan mail lately. His latest edi¬ 
tion was from Carol Mossey; 
what happened Mick too many 
purple violets?. . . A word to the 
wise. A couple of our local girls 
had better get together and find 
out what those Baton Rouge gals 
are doing to our boys . . .If Jo 
Ann could make her decision be¬ 
tween a Chrysler Salesman or a 
Bricklayer before Christmas, may¬ 
be Santa could help her out. . . . 
Famous last words from one of 
our bashful Juniors: “What do I do 
next” ... I understand that G. 
G. is getting a little competition 
from “Charlie My Boy”. Tell us 
Karen, who has the inside track? 
It seems that all Ronald Gross 
wants for Christmas is a “Full 
, moon with Full Dress” .... By 
the way Muggs, if I were you, I’d 
do a little checking up on “Whip- 
per.” Word has it that he’s been 
receiving a vast amount of mail 
from the Sugar Cane Country, 
with Love, Francis . . . Now that 
football is over Mary Helen C. 
won’t be seen riding football play¬ 
ers in her car. But don’t give up 
Mary, the boxers will have to 

take their daily roadwork. 

Why has Vince L. been singing 
“No body Loves Me Any more” 
Maybe Santa will put something 
under your tree that will cheer 
you up. (Heard it may come from 
Norco) . . While rambling through 
the rummage pile the other day 
I came across some Song-Hits; I’d 
like to dedicate to a few per¬ 
sons. First and foremost in the 
pile was, “He May Be Your Man” 
—Huh Anna? Then followed, 
Spanish Polka„-Costillo; “Humpty 
Dumpty Boogie”—Kersenac; next 
was “Orange Colored Sky”--but 
shucks we know Sal would prefer 
, “Blue Colored Eyes” instead; 
“Oh Babe Everybody’s Somebody’s 
Fool”— Wiegand; “Time Out For 
Tears”—Norma; Hot-Rod Races”— 
Banville and Dreyfus; and last but 
[ not least, “I Brung You A present”

The Talk Of The Town 



Mose Singleton - - Always In A Hurry jte 

>W 


Mose Singleton, who directs 
the activities of the Dry Clean¬ 
ing department of the college, has 
been connected with the school 
for about thirty-five years in 
one capacity or another. He is 
holding down this present job 
for at least twenty-five years. 

He tells us that he first started 
selling papers for Miss Josie 
Welsh to the college boys some¬ 
where around 1895. He was then 
seven years old. He was just as 
bandy legged then as now. “I 
just started to w'alk too early,” 
and I have been walking or run¬ 
ning ever since. 

Yes, Mose is as well known to 
the boys of the late nineties as 
the boys of today. In the early 
days he frequently was the post¬ 
man for the boys, especially 
those addressed to the fair lad¬ 
ies of the Bay. 

Mose was married in Our Lady 
of the Gulf Church in 1915 by 
the late Monsignor Prendergast. 
The Good Lord has blessed him 


with nine children most of them p 
are now married and are raisingm< 
families of their own. id< 

He usually starts work in the^ 0 
Dry Cleaning Department abouif 
five in the morning. This early 1 ** 
start is made in order that he caij r 
take on some other outside jobr k 
to add to his income. “Ever'W 
when children are grown,” say£& 
Mose, they are always 
back for help from the < 
and I just can’t turn them down.’* 10 
He has several clients who havr T 
him help with general house-f* 
cleaning and rug beating, he har 1 
been doing this same work foj fel 
the same people for almost ? 
generation. 

Here’s to a long life to Mose^ e 
May his shadow never decrease^,; 
nor his big, smiling face ±*ad« ir< 
from the scene at Stanislaus un¬ 
til he has reached his hundrec 
cycle of years. His long liffy 
of usefulness to others has wor j 
for him many, many friends an^ 
admirers. lc ^

As usual the boarders are about all packed except for the things

Just because Ray Moreau joined the Air Reserve and was ac¬

would not even let the mouse take a look. Some looked as if they

Original Picture Of 
St Stanislaus Found 

An authentic picture or paint¬ 
ing of Saint Stanislaus Kostka was 
recently discovered in France. It 
is one of the finest portrait paint¬ 
ings of the sixteenth century. Lith¬ 
ograph copy may not be purchas¬ 
ed in this country. 

The picture was first discover¬ 
ed in the Jesuit Novitiate in Cham¬ 
pagne, France in 1947. The paint¬ 
ing is attributed Scipione Delfino. 
The countenance is that of a young 
boy rather than a young man. As 
the picture hung in Champagne, 
the original, and hair had been 
added over the original painting. 

What had happened most likely, 


upon the death of Stanislaus, this 
portrait was presented to Fathers 
in Rome. The original was heavily 
over-painted, without retouching 
the face. Hence, we have the holy 
novice in a religious garb, but 
with the face of the lad of ten. 

M. Aubert of the Louvre under¬ 
took the work of scraping. He set 
to work on the black hair, and was 
interested to find under the re¬ 
painting a vermillion cap. With 
infinite care he succeeded in gett¬ 
ing rid of all over-coating. Then, 
in place of the black hair, there 
appeared a vermillion toque with 
a brown band around it. In place 
of the black cassock, there was a 
yellowish-brown jacket, and we 
found ourselves looking at a young 
nobleman, eight or ten years old, 
in the Polish costume of the six¬ 
teenth century. It was little Stan¬ 
islaus at the age of his First Com¬ 
munion. 


Got a letter from Santa the

THE ROCK-A-CHAW 


\y Greatest Game 


(By Joe Clark) 

The shrill of a whistle broke 
a stillness of that cool winter 
iht of November 4 and a huge 
jgie football player approached 
a pigskin for the opening kick- 
t of the St. Stanislaus-Aggie 
me. The Aggie player placed 
3 foot against the ball and sent 
flying through the air and 
rough the end-zone. 

This gave us the ball on our 
vn twenty, first and ten to go. 

It was my last game as quar- 
rback for the Rocks and my 
jmach turned with excitement; 
had to make good. 

The first play I called a pass 
inking that they would never 
:pect it. I was wrong, for they 
tercepted it on our thirty-five 
ird line and returned for the first 
ore of the game. The attempted 
nversion was no good, 
fly heart in my throat, my spirits 
■opped to zero, my stomach reel- 
[ around and around, and I 
ought “My last game and I had 
ready given the opposing team a 
>od lead.” What a player! 

The first quarter, after their 
ore, was a see-saw battle with 
lither team being able to pene- 
ate for any distance. 

The second quarter saw long 
11 ns and excellent passing but the 
[Ifenses of both teams clamped 
>wn and the pigskin was unable 
m pass across the goal line in the 
lgmds of any player. The half 
ided with Aggies 6 , Stanislaus 0. 
^ter the half time ceremonies 
Jt e came back upon the gridiron 
u,Lth a little more pep and vigor 
a] r the coach had given us a pep 
^k that could never be equalled. 
j E We kicked off to the Aggies to 
yigin the second half, the ball 
1 ^ent down to the 3 yard line 
n here it was caught by an Aggie 
L ho ran it back to the 35 where 
Vf i was tackled by four Stanislaus 
e .en causing him to fumble the 
ai ill, and I recovered. 

0 jSo we got our break, first and 
n on the Aggie’s thirty-five. We 
led three line plays gaining only 
ve yards. There was only one 
' e .ing left to do. Try a field goal. 
^Standing on their thirty-eight 
ird line, I waited tensely for the 
n ‘ap of the ball. My hand shook 
I called the signals. “Ready, 
:t, one, two, three — the ball was 
°\ my hands for only a split sec- 
1 ( id, then it touched the ground 
jl d my foot struck with all its 
irce and the pigskin sailed on 
r er and through the uprights. 

We were back in the ball game 
>w. We had scored and the Ag¬ 
es led us by only three points. 

* After scoring those three points 
e ran wild. We were all over 
e field but it seemed that fate 
as against us for although I 
«jt loose twice for runs over sixty 
- irds I never got within their ten 
v trd line. Their backs were the 
pStest things on two feet that I 
} pid ever seen. 

^cThe whistle blew ending the 
ird quarter. The score was now 
h(3 their favor. The fourth quar- 
n(r saw the Aggies penetrate our 
el n yard line but that is as far as 
: r ey got. Our line stiffened and 
1( e took over on downs. 
v( This time I was going to pull 
Ln fast, tricky play. I put the full- 
0 .ck in the quarterback slot and 
liitook over his position. I started 
>n motion to the right. The full- 
ck took the ball from the cen- 
> n r and flipped me a lateral on 
five yard line. I ran around 
ai .d before they knew what was 
L opening. I was up to the ten, the 
=iteenth, the twentieth, the twen- 
-fifth in the clear with only the 
ty man near me. I crossed the 
field stripe into their territory. 
This was it. I heard the cheer- 
g in the stands and also the 
popping of cleats behind me, it 
. 0 *s that Aggie safety. I was down 
.0 their ten yard line, then the 
. 0 ^. 

jl felt his arms close around 
legs and I pitched forward, 
jas it far enough? Did I make it? 
jin the far off distance, I heard 
j^eone calling my name. I felt a 
)# 0 ^d grap my shoulders and shake 
..(£ vigourously. My eyes opened 
►.(pwly to fasten themselves upon 
> # oe figure of Brother Leo. “Are

Christmas QuE; umERT0S ™ A ALUMNI NOTES 


1. Has December 25th always 
been the date Christmas has 
been celebrated? 

2. Did English and American 
always enter into Christmas 
observance? 

3. In abbreviated form “Xmas”, 
what does the “X” stand for? 

4. In what country did the 
Christmas tree originate? 

5. -From what country did we 
get our use of wreaths and 
holly at Christmas? 

6. Who gave us the custom of 
using poinsettia as Christmas 
plants? 

7. How did the use of mistletoe 
originate? 

8. What is the likely derivation 
of the word “carol?” 

9. What are the variations of 
“Santa Claus’ in other lands? 

ANSWERS 

1. Among the early Christians 
the date of Christmas varied, 
but in 350 A. D. it was cele¬ 
brated for the first time on 
December 25th in Rome. 

2. Oliver Cromwell forbade the 
celebration in England for from 
1634-42. The colony of Massa¬ 
chusetts followed his example. 
It was thought that Christmas 
had a pagan origin (?) and for 
that reason it was abolished. 

3. “X” stands for the Greek let¬ 
ter “X” (Chi) and thus repre¬ 
sents the abbreviated. G;reek 
word “Christos” or Christ. 

4. We owe our use of the ever¬ 
green Christmas tree to the 
Germans. Settlers from Ger¬ 
many brought the custom to 
America. 

5. In early Roman times wreaths 
of holly were sent to friends as 
expressions of friendship and 
good will. 

6. Poinsettia are native to Mexi¬ 
co. This plant was brought to 
the United States by Joel R. 
Poinsetta who was ambassador 
to Mexico from 1825-29, in this 
country took its name from 
Poinsetta. 

7. Mistletoe was considered by 
the ancient Druids of England. 
Their priests gave pieces of it. 
away as charms against evil. 

8. The old French “carola” 
meaning a circle or a piece of 
rhusic which was sung as the 
singers moved in a circle has 
most likely given us the word 
“carol.” 

9. The French children call him 
Le Pere Noel; in Germany his 
name is “Nikolaus.” In Hol¬ 
land he is known as “San Nich- 
olaas”; In Spain, he has a sim¬ 
ilar name “Can Nicholas.” The 
Norwegians call him “Kris 
Kringle.” 


Dear Old Santa: 

It has been a very long time since 
you have had a real hearty letter 
from me. When I was small and 
needed a lot of things to make me 
happy you were so good and kind 
to me. Now, that I have added a 
few years to my life, I feel that 
you may be the source of my 
needs. These few things I ask 
may seem little and few in com¬ 
parison to what many may ask, 
but believe me everything I de¬ 
sire is very close to my heart, but 
most of all everything you may 
wish to grant will conduce much 
to my peace of mind, my night’s 
sleep, my appetite, and most of all 
my happiness and allow me to 
wear a smile that will be entirely 
natural and most becoming to my 
permanent disposition. 

As I said in the preamble, my 
wants are few. If you happen to 
know where I could get two 
tackles or even four; a few end 
men, say four or six, and may be 
a few husky backfield men to 
round out the squad, I would be 
most happy this Christmas of 1950. 
Of course, this may seem a big 
order. Something else you might 
do for me, if you are in a gener- ; 
ous mood. There are many good 
men who will be back with us 
next fall. Could you not, by some 
of your most magical powers, add 
about twenty pounds to each one’s 
frame? This is as a very small 
matter, I am sure, and I merely 
ask this favor in sort of a passing 
way. 

I have a most immediate need 
at present. We have a rather tough 
basketball schedule facing our 
squad. The boys are most willing. 
They all know where the baskets 
are located. They pitch the ball 
in the direction of the backboard, 
but seemingly there is a magnet 
that pulls the ball away from the 
basket, now could you not re¬ 
verse the process by which that 
steel basket would just enfold the 
ball swing the ball to the ring? 
You and I hate to see a ball swing 
around that ring only to fall to 
the ground. As you know the score 
keepers count only those that fall 
into the basket. Just give us a bit 
of your old time generosity in the 
way of counters, and I shall be a 
most happy mam 

Lovingly Yours, 
Coach Dick Thames 


Congratulations to Milton Bienvenu, ’39, who was recently married 
at Pass Christian to Miss Luce. The happy couple will make their

The Rockachaws hit some bad luck against Terrebonne, a big team, 
a cold day and a brisk northwester which prevented many. passes 
getting into hands of receivers. Jimmy Holmes had one click in the 
fourth period when Teddy Gabb ran about sixty-five yards to com¬ 
plete the touchdown. 

* * * 

All in all the 1950 football squad did a fine job. Perhaps a bit 
more sprinkling of weight could have helped matters, but when our 
boys don’t put on the avoidupois, we use what we have and they 
did a wonderful comeback this season. Congratulations to all of them.

As we go to press the basketeers are busy preparing for the in¬ 
vasion of the Crusader lair in New Orleans. The boys from Aloysius 
have been at the game for several weeks, so don’t expect too much 
from our boys this time. 

Hats off to the FLIES for their victory in the 34th Annual meet¬ 
ing of the Tiny Mites of Saint Stanislaus. The weather had a great 
deal to do in holding down the crowd. They missed a great game 
from as fine a spirited bunch of youngsters as ever represented the 
Fleas and Flies. 


Terrebonne Takes 
Rock-A-Chaws 26-6 


The big Terrebonne High Tigres 
easily outclassed the light and 
hard hitting Rockachaws from St- 
Stanislaus in the annual Cypress 
Bowl last Sunday 26 to 6. 

Terrebonne built up a 20-0 
score at halftime and then scored 
on the first play of the closing 
period. The Rockachaws’ lone 
touchdown came in the fourth 
period as the result of a pass 
from Jimmy Holmes to Teddy 
Gabb on the Stanislaus 33. Gabb 
easily outdistanced the Tiger 
secondary for the lone marker. 

Stanislaus suffered the loss of 
a couple of its key players early 
in the game, plus the fact that 
Terrebonne outweighed them on 
the line and in the backfield all 
contributd to a onesided game.

Song Wid Woids 


I ups and goes to midnight 
Mass on Christmas . ,< . 

Tho 1 hadn’t went to Mass for 
‘leven years . . . 

I thought of me little sister who’s 
gone wrong as bad as me . . . 

And down came the tears ... 

I thought of what nuts we are to 
fall for the woild’s baloney . . . 

I felt hunility and I tuck a sock 
at me pride .... 

I felt like a sap ‘neelin in choich, 
I felt like a rat in a rainbow . . . 

I felt like a flea on a bride. 

It wasn’t the music, it wasn’t the 
lights and the roses 

Nor the swell lookin’ goils goin to 
Holy Communion that took me 
down . . . 

But it was the crib wid a little 
stature of the Blessed Voigin . . 

And I wisht to God I was a kid 
again in de Bronx .... 

So dat She could take me in Her 
arms at midnight Mass . . . 

I felt like crawlin’ tru de hay to 
be dere beside Her . . . 

And take de place of de ass.

Blessed Sacrament 
Society Has Outing 

The members of the Blessed 
Sacrament enjoyd a picnic outing 
Dcember 8th at the De Soto Nat¬ 
ional Park near Biloxi. 

The day was ideal for an out¬ 
ing. The sun greeted the boys 
as they trudged from Mass to 
breakfast. In fact, this has been 
the only real sunshine we have 
had all during December. 

Everyone enjoyed the day im¬ 
mensely. The bus drive was most' 
pleasant with everyone joining 
the singing along the way. Not 
all wfere in tune, and niether did 
all know the words, but what’s 
the use of saying anything about 
that—noise was all that was 
needed. 

•Games were played. Others

iary will sponsor a party for the 
band members in the school gym¬ 
nasium Monday, December 18, 
from 8:00 p.m. until 11:00 p.m. 

Working with Mrs. P. J. Treu-

a few party games. 

Brother Romuald, band direc¬

ing to make the party a success. 

Hoopsters Heed 
Call Of Year 

Only sixty-two boys responded 
to the call for candidates for the 
Rock-A-Chaw basketball squad. 
An intramural league was 
formed and a round robin played 
to determine the talent and merit 
of the players. Eight teams were 
chosen. The Captains are as fol¬ 
lows: A1 Burns, Billy Huvar, Jerry 
Lyttle, Jerry Rooney, Jimmy Gil¬ 
more, Gilbert Schmidt, Luke Ca¬ 
ruso, and Freddy Cabell. 

The only letter-men remaining 
from last year are: Jerry Rooney, 
Jimmy Gilmore, A1 Burns, Luke 
Caruso ,and Jerry Lyttle. 


SENIOR CONFRATERNITY 

The Senior section will hold a 
meeting on the First Friday. This 
time it will be a business meeting 
as none have been held during 
November due to overcrowding of 
the daily schedule. 

All classes in the Senior Con¬ 
fraternity have been assigned, a 
special day for Holy Mass. No ob¬ 
ligation implied, merely devo¬ 
tion and the good will of the 
members. 



At St Stanislaus 


(By John Saravanja) 

About fifty boys spent their 
Thanksgiving holidays at school 
because of the considerable dis¬ 
tance from their homes. 

“Thanksgiving Day” was start¬ 
ed with Holy Mass in the school 
chapel. After a hearty breakfast 
the boys played a softball game 
against the brothers. The boys 
came out with the long end of 
the score in spite of Brother Leo’s 
constant threats in the outfield. 

When the dinner whistle blew 
and the boys hit the dining hall, 
well, they were amazed—better 
say they were flabbergasted. All 
the tables were beautifully deco¬ 
rated for the occasion, and what 
a load of eats met the eye. It 
was a question of where to be¬ 
gin. 

After the dinner, no one seem¬ 
ed to have any energy left to get 
away from the table. But we 
did and everyone had a big 
“Thank You” for Mr. Conner. 

Early on Saturday morning 
Brother Leo drove the whole 
herd of boys to New Orleans in 
the schol bus. They spent the 
whole day seeing the sights of 
the city. 

The “Stay at Homes” held a 
dance at the convent strictly for 
dates, on the previous night, 
which turned out to be a very 
successful affair. 


HOW TO STUDY TO 
OBTAIN YOUR GOAL 


(As told by Edsel Aucoin, Sixth 
Grade, to Your Editor) 

To study one should use all five 
senses to obtain permanent suc¬ 
cess. The sense of feeling to hold 
the book, the sense of sight to 
read the words; the sense of 
speech to pronounce and to recite. 
If the words prove difficult there 
is always someone Who can read 
them for you, thus using the 
sense of hearing. Thus through

Book Reviews 


(By John Saravanja) 

“The World’s Best” edited by 
Whit Burnett is a volume present¬ 
ed to readeis of fine literature by 
105 great living authors. This book 
comprises humor, biography, his¬ 
tory, essays, poetry and drama all 
in one. Following are some of the 
selections by the famous authors. 

“Death be not Proud” by John 
Gunther. “The Snows of Kilima- 
jaro” by Ernest Hemingway. “Bir¬ 
th” from the “The Citadel”, by A. 
J. Cronin. “Sea of Cortez” by John 
Steinbeck. In short it is an an¬ 
thology worth reading. 

Life’s “World War III Illustrat¬ 
ed” has recently been added to the 
Stanislaus reading circle. 

The Young Trailers Series by 
Joseph Altsheler, a distinguished 
and famous juvenile writer, is 
being enjoyed by the younger 
boys. 

Among the other top thrillers 
found in the library are: “Custer, 
Fighter of the Plains” by Garst, 
“Glenn Curtiss, Pioneer in Naval 
Aviation,” and “Chennault’s Fly¬ 
ing Tigers”. 


the senses of learning is brought 
to the mind where it may be stor¬ 
ed for future use, and allows 
one’s intelligence a chance to 
work to sort out the useful knowl¬ 
edge. 

This is the proper way to study, 
and if this method is used all the 
time whenever a topic is assign¬ 
ed, success will crown the work.

ST. STANISLAUS, BAY ST. LOUIS, MISS. 


January 12, 1951 


Around The Campus 

By JOE CLARK 

Midnight Mass was held for 
the first time in Bay St. Louis 
on New Years Day. It was an j 
excellent way to begin the new \ 
year of 1951, in this war torn 
world. The Mass was held in 
the church of Our Lady of the 
Gulf with Reverend Edward 

Desmond as celebrant. 

& * * 

The replica of the “Little Town 
of Bethlehemi” that was display¬ 
ed on the front lawn of the cam- | 
pus during the Christmas holi- j 
days was built by Brother El¬ 
bert. We wish to congratulate 
him on his fine artissonship and 
his ingenuity for the reperduc- 
tion of the most historical event 
of the world. 

* * * 

The Confraternity held a spir¬ 
itual meeting on January 5, the 
first Friday of the month. It 
was necessary after the spiritual 
meeting to hold an election of 
representatives that are to at¬ 
tend the convention at Mobile. 
The representatives who were 
elected are as follows: Mike 
Haas, Joe Scafidi, Mike Gastea_ 
zoro, and A1 Burns. The senior 
officers and the President and 
Vice President of the Junior 
Confraternity will also attend 
the meeting. 

* * * 

Because of the fact, the war 
situation is critical, there will 
be no major Mardi Gras this 
year in New Orleans or in Mo¬ 
bile. Most likely we will only 
receive one holiday at the time 
and that Mardi Gras day. Such 
is the sacrifice of war. 

* * * 

Well, the Wildcats of Ken¬ 
tucky pounced on the Sooners 
of Oklahoma to defeat them in a 
hard fought Sugar Bowl game. 
Very few picked Kentucky to 
defeat the Number One team! of 
the nation. Sorry to say, yours 
truly, picked Oklahoma—with a 
31 winning streak, who wouldn’t? 
* * * 

Most of the Juniors and Se¬ 
niors eighteen years of age and 
over are still awaiting anxiously 
the action of Congress concern¬ 
ing the draft bill. Our editor, 
Phil Scheurer, received his draft 
notice and has to report to New 
Orleans on the fifteenth for his 
physical. Phil is in the Organ¬ 
ized Naval Reserve, therefore, 
he will not be effected by the 
draft. The situation however is 
effecting numerous prospective 
high school graduates. 

• • ♦ 

I ami sure everyone enjoyed 
the Christmas ’holidays, espec¬ 
ially, Richard “Luke” Krimbrely, 
F. Batansos and R. Hueic. They 
were a week late in getting back 
to recuperate. How about that 
“Luke?” 

* • • 

During history class last week 
Coach Thames was stamped by 
one of the students. No reflec¬ 
tion on Coach, no one else could 
comment on the reference made 
by the student. This question 

concerned whether or not the 
electorial votes in the election 
of 1928 were split in any single 
state. Who was the student? 

Pat Hurley, how about that?

Semester Exams Are 
Set For This Week 

By LAIRRY SCHARFF 

A nice New Year’s present 
awaited the students as they ar. 
rived in classes on the 3rd—the 
gist of all Teachers was to the 
effect that Semester Exams will 
i take place beginning the week of 
! the 15th. It was sort of a bitter 
dose to take immediately follow¬ 
ing two weeks of delightful holi¬ 
days and all the dreams of what 
had taken place were hardly al¬ 
lowed time to filter before the 
rude awaking to the realization 
that the half year was upon us.

By VINCENT LIBERTO 

At the annual football banquet 
on December 19 the members of 
the Saint Stanislaus Sidelines 
Club elected Milton A. Phillips, 
Jr., President, and Arthur J. 
Chapmnn as Vice President. Bro¬ 
ther Edmund was again given the 
post as Secretary and Treasurer. 

Mr. Lucien M. Gex, Sr., pre¬ 
sided as Toastmaster of the ban¬ 
quet. Mr. Henry Frnka, Head 
Football Coach of Tulane Univer¬ 
sity was the principal speaker. 
Other speakers were: Mr. Walter 
J. Gex, Jr., President of the 
Alumni Association, Coach Dick 
Thames, Assistant Coach Mike 
Powers, Mr. Leo Kenney, retir¬ 
ing President of the Sidelines 
Club, and Brother Alexis, S. C. 


By LARRY SCHARFF 

Several of the Saint Stanislaus 
musicians are busily preparing 
for auditions to qualify for the 
Lions’ All-State Band. This year 
the band will be under the di¬ 
rection of Mr. Roy H. Martin of 
Greenwood, Miss. 

January 15 has been set as the 
last day on which applications for 
positions on the All State band 
roster m)ay be made. Upon re_ 
ceivance of applications by Mr. 
Martin, music for the try-out 
will be sent all candidates. In 
order to save expense each ap¬ 
plicant will record his try-out on 
a tape recording at his own 
school and the tape will be sent 
to Greenwood for examination. 


All canditdates accepted will get 
a trip to Atlantic City sponsored 
by the Lions Clubs at the time of 
their International Convention 
some time in June. 

The band will present a public 
concert in Jackson after return¬ 
ing from Atlantic City, and it 
will undoubtedly perform for the 
North-South All-Star football 
game to be played at a later date. 

The Lions’ Clubs will bear 
all expenses for the Atlantic 
City trip including hotels, meals, 
and transportation, however, 
meals during the training period 
prior to leaving for Atlantic 
City will have to be borne by 
the individual band members. 


Confraternity meet 


Brother Athananaius of Saint 
Stanislaus will be the Chairman. 


The banquet was given in the 
new dining hall of the college. 
Everyone present was more than 
pleased with the delicious apd 
well prepared meal set before 
them. Many of the men had 
quite some stories to bring home 
about the swell cooking. 

All members of the Stanislaus 
football squad were declared eli¬ 
gible for letter-sweater awards. 
The latter were distributed only 
after the return of students from 
the Christmas holidays. 

The Sidelines Club made two 
special awards in the form of 
trophies—one to the outstanding 
Senior backfield man, Jimmy 
Holmes who played quarterback; 
and, the other to the outstanding 
Senior lineman which was 
awarded to Paul Palermo, a 
guard. 

The footballl squad made a pre¬ 
sentation to Head Coach Dick 
Thames at the close of the ban¬ 
quet. 


Each member of the Senior 
class was assigned the duty of 
expressing their own ideas on a 
fire drill program for the dining 
hall. They were to draw a dia¬ 
gram of the dining hall and the 
exits that were to be used by each 
row of the tables. The best 
diagraml will be used for fire 
drills that will be in the near 
future. 


Slated For Mobile 


Several members of the Saint 
Stanislaus Confraternity of the 
Sacred Heart will take part in the 
one day conference with other 
members from the various schools 
of the Brothers of the Sacred 
Heart in Mobile, Saturday, Jan¬ 
uary 27. All meetings will take 
place in the new Sacred Heart 
Scholasticate, Springhill. 

The - local students will leave 
here Friday afternoon on the 
Saint Aloysius bus which will stop 
here to meet them. While in 
Mobile the students will be 
guests of the McGill students. All 
meals will be served at the Schol¬ 
asticate. 

The program for the 27th is 
as follows: Holy Mass at the 
Scholasticate at 7:30 followed by 
breakfast. 

Delegates from St. Aloysius, 
New Orleans will open the pro¬ 
gram with “The Confraternity 
possesses all the conditions that 
make for Catholic Action.” Cath¬ 
olic High of Donaldsonville will 
lead the discussion. Brother 
Louis of New Orleans will be 
chairman of this section . 

At 10:00 St. Stanislaus will pre¬ 
sent a paper entitled “ The Con¬ 
fraternity—a cell for leading 
Classmates to Holiness.” Discus¬ 
sion will be led by a member from 
Menard Memorial, Alexandria. 


At 11 o’clock, Catholic High 
of Baton Rouge will present, 
“The Confraternity—Its influ¬ 
ences on Family and Parish Life.” 
St. Aloysius of Vicksburg will 
lead the discussion on this paper. 
Brother Francis of Saint Aloy¬ 
sius, Vicksburg, will be the 
Chairman. 

Brother Andre, Principal of St. 
Aloysius, New Orleans, wih be 
speaker and discussion leader on 
the topic, “A Means to Devel¬ 
op Priestly and Religious Voca¬ 
tions.” 

Lunch will be served at the 
Scholasticate from 12 to 1 for all 
the delegates. 

In the afternoon there will 
be one session for seniors and 
one for juniors. The seniors will 
discuss, “Confraternity Proce¬ 
dures, Practices and Problems.” 
Brother Armand will be Chair¬ 
man. 

The juniors will discuss the same 
topic with Brother Anselm of 
Thibodeaux College in the chair. 

At 2:30 the resolutions Com¬ 
mittee will report. This com¬ 
mittee will be helped by Broth¬ 
ers Felician and Donnan; and 
upon adoption of the resolutions, 
the Conference will adjourn.

importance. Almost all the plans 
of the New Draft laws before 
Congress today are exempting the 
upper one third of the Senior 
Classes, which means if you want 
to continue studying you must 
keep your nose to the grind stone 
not just for one day, but the 
whole year in order to keep up 
with the band wagon. 

On the other side, your re¬ 
porter took a poll among a 
number of our students concern¬ 
ing their views about tests. Al¬ 
most everyone agreed they were 
necessary evils. ; 

One fellow inquired, “Are these 
tests really necessary?” Another 
student thought it would be a 
good idea to exempt students who 
have had about a ninety aver¬ 
age in daily work and weekly 
quizzes. 

Maybe some method of classi¬ 
fication will soon be discovered 
whereby a student will not have 
to burn the mid-night oil to 
capture a passing mhrk or even 
to get a top mark in his class, 
but if I remember correctly my 
old grandfather had some ideas 
along these lines of no exams a 
long, long time ago. 

Rev. Brother Martin 
Visits St. Stanislaos 


By EDDIE SCHOFIELD 

Rev. Brother Martin, Provincial 
Superior of the Brothers of the 
Sacred Heart, paid an informal 
visit to St. Stanislaus this past 
week. He will be back for his 
official visit to the college at 
which time he will see each of 
the classes in session. He exL 
pressed himself as very well 
pleased with the student body 
c?j Saint Stanislaus and espec¬ 
ially their generosity toward 
Our Lord and the Blessed Sac¬ 
rament as manifested by the 
great number of boys who go to 
Mass each morning and receive 
Holy Communion.

A RESOLUTION 


Have you ever heard of New Year’s Resolutions? 1 
don't mean the type that are made New Year’s Eve and for 
some reason become lost in the shuffle the following day. 
J don’t, |pean the kind either that have a tendency to crop up 
in the minds of some people who are a bit under the weath¬ 
er, they too, forget all about the good thoughts they had 
of amendment, or had merely spoken to hear themselves talk, 
or. perhaps to make a good impression upon those gathered 
.around them. We do mean a good solid resolution, well 
♦thought out as to consequences, and what it will cost to per¬ 
severe. 


Sincere congratulations to John Lang, 1942, and Richard Hammer, 
1936. The former was married just before Christmas in Pass Christian; 
the latter, to Miss Betty Ridley, Holy Name of Jesus Church, New 
Orleans, January 6th. 


It was a baby girl this time, a Christmas present ,for Gilbert 
Whitworth, 1939. The little lady will bear the name of Dorothy. 


Clarence Piazza, 1947, is with the 1st Marines in Korea. Suffered 
a bad shoulder injury in November when a tractor hit him. Then in 
the retreat of early December he suffered frost bites, but he is again 
back on the firing line. 


PEEPING THRU ; ri 
THE KEYHOLE 


* * * 

Ray Hagman, 1948, is also with the Marines. He is sweating it 
out at San Diego. Was home on furlough at Christmas, and he 
strongly suspected that he had a long, long ride ahead of him on his 
return. Good luck to you both. 


* * * 

Robert Buford, 1945, is in the Air Force, stationed at Keesler 
Field, Biloxi. Several other Stanislaus boys are there now. Seems 
they ought to get together. Will be glad to use the Rock-A-Chaw as 
a means of introduction. Let me have your full addresses. 


Why has Nibbler been acting so 
good lately? Could it be, be¬ 
cause of that “Christmas” pres¬ 
ent—Geri? . . . “The Norco 
Kid,” Paul H. has been seen go. 
ing around with a certain fresh- 
mhn recently. I believe a certain 
person in Norco would like to 
learn about this. ... It looks as 
if Bobby W. has been losingj 
weight lately, could this be bej 
cause of his strenuous feats onj 
the basketball court or is hel 
having love troubles? . . . Sayl 
G. G., tell us why you are al-| 
ways the life of the party. Isl 
it because of that startling act| 
you perform . . . Why has Gene 
S. gone all the way to Norco

Dick Schexnayder, 1926, had a bad heart attack early in December. 
Glad to say that he is again on the mend, and asks to be remembered 
to all his old friends. 


Frank Beaullieu, 1913, who suffered a rather severe heart attack 
last summer is again back at work. He is now confining his activities 
on the outside. 


it- 


Just as many people have the habit of going through 
the motions of making resolutions, we have many students 
who begin to examine their conscience as to the time spent 
in study. It all comes home to them that a great deal of 
, God’s good time has been wasted in 1950 through lack of 
study, inattentive habits during class periods, getting work 
from the more studious friend, and last but not least crack¬ 
ing a book just before tests and then blaming the teacher 
for the poor marks! 

Now, is the time to get down to study. Those who are 
in the Senior Class and those who are eligible for the Draft 
know all too well—and we hope not too late—the value of 
good marks. Whether we like it or not almost all laws per¬ 
taining to the New Draft Law before Congress at the pres¬ 
ent time, have provisions exempting the upper third of 
. Senior Classes from the Draft in order to allow them, to 
... continue higher studies. So, a most important resolution 
for every one in High School at this time is to take a good ^i rt . 7 

look at themselves and ask how they would rate if the Greet- O LQTllSLQllS 

ings from our President were to be received by each one 
tomorrow morning? If the answer is in the negative, then 
get down to work immediately, so you will not be found 
, shoit!—Philip Scheurer. 


Dr. E. J Petijean, 1909, has had a complete recovery from the 
eye trouble which beset him last August. 


The 1951 “Darling of LSU”, Miss Sonya Le Blanc, is the daughter 
of George Le Blanc, Class 1923, of Paincourtville, Louisiana. Among 
the six favorites presented to the student body was Miss Geraldine 
Le Blanc, daughter of Dr. Joseph Le Blanc, Class 1913. Both men 
almost busted buttons from their vests as they told us of the honors 
which their daughters brought them. Congratulations to the girls 
and to the Daddies. 


William Jaenke and Lawrence Lampo met in many years at the 
meeting held in Lafayette recently. They had plenty of stories to 
bring to mind about doings at Stanislaus and Bay St. Louis about 1908. 


Walter Gex and your Secretary were received right royally at 
Donaldsonville and Lafayette lust before Christmas. Took us a couple 
of days to get over all the swell entertainment given us. We also visited 
the Hadacol plant in Lafaeytte as the guests of Mr. Dudley Le Blanc. 


The oldest member at the Donaldsonville meeting was C. P. Lynch 
of Morgan City who is seventy-one years young. He looked a lot 
younger than many of the fifty year old boys who were in attendance. 
The oldest at Lafayette was Lawrence Lampo who was elected a 
representative to the New Orleans meeting by the assembled mem¬ 
bership.

w . Brother Leo, “the man who makes the muscles”, has reorganized 
his evening calistenic classes. Any boarder may join, in fact every 
boarder but the basketball players and boxers had better be there. 
These drastic measures have been taken so that the time of the 
“galary cowboys” might be occupied. Teacher has already picked out 
a few pets namely Buddy Moore and Jimmy Benoit. 


The rumors which are now 
circulating around school con¬ 
cerning a stepped up draft pro¬ 
gram and universal military 
training have caused a flurry of 
excitement among the students 
in the upper age bracket. This 
has become a favorite topic of 
discussion among those who are 
eighteen years old and over- 
Those who are not yet eighteen, 
but close to it, are beginning to 
show* a definite interest in de¬ 
velopments. 


Tests aren’t the only thing to look forward to this week thanks 
to.;the Seniors of S. J. A. who are sponsoring their annual variety 
party, Fun Night. This gala evening of Vaudeville skits, games and 
dancing to which all are invited, is one of Saint Joseph’s big events 
of the year. 


.:jv.v Bobby Weigand has unleached a remarkable talent for poetry. His 
original poems “Under the Tree”, Heart-tacks”, and his latest one, 
“The Lost Soul” deal with varied themes. His first poem, considered 
; by this columnist as Bobby’s best, was written when the poet “was 
restricted to the area” and ridicules lonesomeness, showing that every 
■ ' boy has a friend even if it is a tree. “Heart-tacks” is the picture of a 
: lover in pursuit of his first love. In “The Lost Soul”, Bobby pulls an 

“Edgar Allen Poe” describing a convict of despair trying to escape. 


With the Korean situation grow¬ 
ing more and more critical and 
new draft bills constantly being 
introduced into Congress , the 
tension should be mounting; but 
we will not let it be that way. 
We would much rather pass it 
off as a joke. 


The laughs are usually at the 
expense of those who are liable 
to immediate call and who are 
expecting a notice any day. But 
everyone laughs together and no 
one minds. 


Looks like there won’t be any rewriting this issue. Brother Ed¬ 
mund, staff advisor, was taken ill shortly before the articles went to 
press. Brother usually finds a mistake or two just when the reporters 
and writers are feeling pleased with themselves. Eddy Schofield is 
now having his hey-day. He’s doing a terrific job this time ,too! Hope 
you are well soon, Brother .... too much work. 


“Good-bye friends” and “See 
you in Korea” are familiar ex¬ 
pressions at mail call when 
someone receives a letter frpm 
the draft or some branch of the 
service.

The band’s required number for the State Band Contest is the j 
“First Swedish Rhapsody” by Erik Leidzen. It is a beautiful number \ 
and calls for some strenuous practice, but it will be nothing new in 
way of a challenge for the Stanislaus band members. We have met* 
similar difficulties in the past and have come out on top-this year 
will be no exception. 

* * * 

The band this year numbers thirty-nine members. Names and* 
instrumentation follows: B-flat Clarinets, Larry Scharff, Gerald Gex, 
John Uhl, Andrew Scafidi, Harold Johnston, Robert Cagle, Don Allen, 
and Wally Shettlemore. Alto-Clarinets, Gregory Favre; Bass-Clarinet, 
Monroe Cuevas; Soprano Sax, Roland Hewick; Alto Sax, Paul Hurley,T 
Louis Lucas, and Joseph Kern. 0 

Baritone Sax, Henry Capdepon; Cornets, Sal D’Angelo, Davidn 
Treutel, Gerald Kimble, James Becnel, James Foto, Val Wilson, Ed^ 
Brady and Alton Perelli. ;a 

French Horns, Anthony Benigno, Ken McLellan, and Charles b 
Ferry. Trombones, Gilbert Schmidt, Tommy Sumrall, and Richard ~ 
Pollet. Baritones, Jerry LaNasa, and James Benoit. Basses, Jamese 
Williams, and John Radford. Percussion, Andre Arceneaux, Billy^ 
Cooper, Al Burns, Jerry Weigand, and Shelby Tucker. 

Brother Romuald, S. C. is the Director of the band. 


Many are considering the Nav¬ 
al reserves as a refuge and some 
have already joined. Others are 
waiting and hoping for the re¬ 
sults of the Naval Reserve Offi¬ 
cers Training Corps Test which 
a number of Seniors took early 
in December. If they pass this 
they will probably be safe from 
the draft. 


The stronger sex is often referr¬ 
ed to as the weaker sex because 
of the weakness of the stronger 
sex for the weaker sex.

Kiln High fell before the Rock- 
chaws in a hard fought game at 
.he Kiln gym by the score of 36 
to 32. 

In the first half the Rocks took 
a nine point lead which decreased 
one point at the end of the third 
period. The last quarter was a 
duel to the end with the Rocks 
emerging victorious by the slim 
margin of four points. 

During the entire game Jerry 
Rooney racked up 11 points to 
become high man. Mauffray and 
Lee for Kiln tied for second place 
with 8 points each. 

The Junior team, was unsuc¬ 
cessful however as they lost 2)

^oals to be high man for Kiln 
while Shelby Tucker swished the 
net for five Stanislaus points.

The old expression “telling 
tales -out of school” seem." to be 
out of place at Saint Stanislaus. 
In fact, if one gazes about the 
campus at this period of the 
year, he would see scattered 
groups in various corners, all 
exchanging tales of their holiday 
merry-making. 


Who I went with, who 1 
met, what happened, where I 
went and what did” are the main 
topics of interest—I really come 
near saying Bull. To be sure 
they are called “Bull Sessions” 
because after each one in a 
group has had his chance to tell 
of all he did and all he con¬ 
quered very soon fact changes to 
fancy and the imagination is giv¬ 
en full rein. It is amazing the 
conversations a fellow can have 
in his imagination. Don Juan 
would not have a look-in with 
some of these guys around here. 
They just slay ’em all. 


It is another wonder how a 
fellow can accomplish so much 
in a twenty-four hour period or 
a seven day week. This does not 


mention the fact that some l|# I 
time must be taken out for sl| 
•little though that may 
there is still sleep to be had. A| 
gosh most of these fellows iu| 
stake out a gold mine—they 
a gal to the Country Club fcj 
dinner dance, drop down to 
Blue Room for a snack and 
other dance, and perhaps windl 
the night at some club or anotj 
—all on FIVE, BUCKS. They 
must be invisible men when i 
waiter lays the check on 
table, or maybe there is a gf 
angel with a well lined poc" 
following them from place ^ 
place. Well, anyway it soui 
good while the gang listens! ^

"JINUAL CONFRATERNITY CONVENTION 


(By Joe Clark) 

OThe annual meeting of the 
□nfraternity of the Sacred 
*eart was held at the end of 
'muary at the Brothers’ House 
; Studies at Springhill, Alabama, 
rother Ignatius, S. C., the Di- 
Ector of Scholastics, played host 
ii; some sixty members of the 
^nfraternity who represented 
e various schools of the Bro- 
■"ifers from Louisiana, Mississippi 
Tid Alabama. 

Brother Armand, S. C., from 
Aloysius, New Orleans was 
leral Chairman of the Conven_ 
He was very ably assist- 
in the different panels by Bro- 
|4r Anselm from Thibodaux, 
'ther Rian of St. Stanislaus 
ho replaced Brother Athanasius, 
flfio could not be on hand be_ 
JJjiise of the absence of Broth- 
Leo, Prefect at St. Stanislaus. 

^The Convention was opened 
jith Holy Mass. The celebrant 
s Father Janssen, S. J., the 
gular Chaplain of the Scholas- 

E :s. Immediately following Mass, 
eakfast Was served the entire 
I legation in the Student dining 
' ill. 

Brother Martin, Provincial of 
r* e Brothers, greeted the boys 
; the opening session. He gave 
„ short talk on the advantages 
j the Confraternity and he ex¬ 
pressed the sincere wish that all 
ould bring back to their respec- 
ve Sodalities the lessons learn- 
at the Convention. 

vi In the afternoon, Brother Mar_ 
n was again on the platform, but 
lis time he was on hand to in- 
i’oduce to us Most Reverend 
ishop Toolen of Mobile. This 
" as a most unexpected surprise 
we had been led to believe 
A1 iat the Bishop would be unable 
' attend because of the pres¬ 
sure of other duties. 

0 ( Bishop Toolen thanked the 
embers for choosing Mobile as 
ieir meeting place and hoped 
—'at they would again be back to 
Gulf city. The Bishop spoke 
1 the end of Catholic Action 
Catholic Education. Catholic 
Ki ption can do little without the 
lid foundation of a Catholic 


Winter Grows Bold, 
Students Grow Cold 


Education. Of course the real 
Catholic Action said the Bishop, 
“is living our individual lives as 
exemplary Catholics, this is the 
best Catholic Action.” 

Brother Andre, S. C.. President 
of St. Aloysius, New Orleans gave 
a very interesting talk on Voca¬ 
tion to the Priesthood and to the 
Religious Life. He stressed the 
idea that prayer was the best 
means of arriving at knowledge 
of a vocation. Too there must 
be the desire on the part of the 
individual, and he advised all 
those who ntight have any in¬ 
clination towards the Priesthood 
or to the Brotherhood to seek 
out advice. 

The Resolutions Committee met 
with Brother Felician, S. C., from 
Alexandria and Brother D'onnan 
from Baton Rouge. 

During the banquet Saturday 
night, the resolutions committee 
reported the following: Resolv¬ 
ed: That the Confraternity as an 
organization, and on the advice 
of Most Reverend Bishop Tool¬ 
en, spread Catholic Literature, 
and exert their efforts collective¬ 
ly and individually to prevent 
the sale and use of indecent and 
irreligious literature. The means 
to be use is left to the discretion 
of the local Confraternity. This 
resolution should be read at each 
local Confraternity meeting and 
spread upon the minutes of each 
organization. 

Second, resolved: That every 
member of the Confraternity per¬ 
form at least one positive act of 
self-denial every day of the year 
in imitation of the crucified 
Christ; and, that it is part of 
this resolution that it shall be 
read at every local meeting as 
part of the minutes. 

The Convention adjourned 
Sunday morning. Many of the 
delegates took advantage of the 
invitation to visit the Brothers’ 
Juniorate at Daphne, before leav¬ 
ing Mobile. 


(By Larry Scharff) 

Old Man Winter moved in sud¬ 
denly from the North to the 
“Balmy” Mississippi Coast Thurs¬ 
day, February 1, to chill the 
area with a 24 degree temper¬ 
ature compared with a 65 de¬ 
gree temperature recorded on 
the previous day. By Friday 
mlorning the mercury had drop¬ 
ped to about 14. 

Thursday morning the boarders 
at S. S. C. awoke to find 34 de¬ 
gree weather outside. Ice was 
everywhere and many of the gal¬ 
lery stairs were made hazardous 
by the “cold stuff as one of the 
South American boys called it. 

By ten o’clock the thermome¬ 
ter had plunged down to 24. Snow 
flurries caused much excitement 
and everyone gathered along the 
galleries to watch the “blizzard.” 

Friday everyone was pretty 
uncomfortable in the freezing 
winter, one of the coldest win¬ 
ters of the century for the 
coast. A power failure on the 
campus during the early hours 
of the morning produced a cold 
awakening for the boarders for 
it had knocked out all heating 
in the dormitories. Low water 
pressure aggravated the situa¬ 
tion. 

School began an hour late with 
many absentees noted in all the 
classes. The mercury rose to 30 
about noon and hovered around 
this temperature the rest of the 
day. 

Many different types of protec¬ 
tion against the cold wave were 
witnessed about the campus. A 
number of the boys were dressed 
out in heavy coats, scarfs, hats, 
and gloves, while a few wore 
only light sweaters. 

During recesses the smaller 
boys amused themselves by gath¬ 
ering icicles from bushes, auto¬ 
mobiles, puddles, etc., while the 
older boys stood around in cold 
little groups and discussed na¬ 
ture’s downfall in the “Sunny 
South.” 


PLANS LAID FOR ANNUAL 
NEW ORLEANS DINNER 


STUDENTS HEP CAUSE 
OF BROTHER POLYCARP 


On January 31, February 1 and 
2, students in the schools taught 
by the Brothers of the Sacred 
Heart were called upon to join 
in a triduum of prayers and good 
works for the cause of the beati¬ 
fication of Brother Polycarp. 

Brother Polycarp was the first 
Brother to be Superior-General of 
his order, in the early part of the 
nineteenth century in France. He 
is known as “the second founder” 
of the Brothers of the Sacred 
Heart. 

The cause of his beatification

Closed Retreats For Seniors 
Scheduled For March 1 - 14 


The customary 3-day closed re- 
theat this year v^ill be held at Xa¬ 
vier Hall, Jesuit retreat house at 
Pass Christian. There will be 3 
groups: one from March 1-4, an¬ 
other from March 6-9 and a 
third from March 11-14. 

The purpose of a religious re¬ 
treat is much the same as that 
of a military retreat. It is a 
strategic withdrawal according 
to an orderly plan in order to 
repair our losses and prepare to 
launch a counterattack. 

By silence and solitude the re- 
treatants withdraw from the dis¬ 
traction and ballyhoo of the 
world. According to the plan of 
St. Ignatius’ Spiritual exercises 


they study their relationship to 
their Creator. By means cf a 
good confession they repair their 
losses, and through the good 
advice of the retreat master and 
the powerful help of prayer and 
the Sacraments they are prepar¬ 
ed to launch their counterattack. 

The first group is composed 
of: Manuel Andrade, Fernando 
Aldape, Joseph Clark, Carlos 
Cordon, Fernando Betanzos, 
Monroe Cuevas, Jorge D’Alta, 
Robert del Castillo. Williami Ellis, 
Miguel Gasteazoro, James Gil¬ 
more, John Guthrie, Charles 
Horgan, William Jacks, Jossy 
Mansur, Jose Malonado, Victor

The members of the Saint 
Stanislaus Alumni Association 
living along the Mississippi Gulf 
Coast met at Gulfport recently to 
form an organization for the men 
along the Coast. Albert “Bus¬ 
ter” Mallard, ’18, was elected 
President, and Frank Wittmann, 
Pass Christian, Class 1925 was 
elected Vice President with the 
regular Secretary of the Asso¬ 
ciation to take over any work 
that may ensue on the Coast. 

About thirty-five members 
were present for the organiza¬ 
tional meeting. Among other 
things proposed was that the 
Coast Regional take over as hosts 
for the annual Homecoming. They 
wish to sponsor a dance for vis¬ 
iting Alumni, Students and 
Friends the evening before the 
celebration, and to take an ac¬ 
tive part in the program, for the 
Homecoming itself. 

On the question of electing of¬ 
ficers for the Alumni Associa¬ 
tion at large went on record to 
approve such balloting to be made 
at the Mid-winter meeting in 
New Orleans rather than Home¬ 
coming. Heretofore, the mem¬ 
bership attending the Home¬ 
coming festivities has not been 
really representative of the whole 
body. 

It was voted that nominations 
take place at Homecoming, and 
that ballots be prepared by the 
Secretary and handed each qual¬ 
ified member upon registration at 
the New Orleans meeting. By 
qualified member is meant all 
those who have paid Alumni dues 
for that year. 

The following men were elect¬ 
ed to meet with the Executive 
Committee on Sunday, January 
?8 in the New Orleans Athletic 
Club: Fred Herlihy, Albert Mal¬ 
lard, Warren Carver, Joseph Sca- 
fidi, Frank Wittmann and Bert 
Simpson. 


The Executive Committee and 
the Advisory Board of the Bro¬ 
ther Peter Scholarship Fund met 
at the New Orleans Athletic 
Club last Sunday. The primary 
purpose of the meeting was to 
lay plans for the annual Mid¬ 
winter meeting of the Alumni 
Association, and to hear the pe¬ 
titions of the representatives from 
the various districts regarding 
changes in meeting, methods of 
electing officers and changes in 
the collection of funds for the 
Scholarship. 

Brother Alexis, Brother Ed¬ 
mund, Mr. Michael Irwin, and 
Mr. Linden Braud were appoint¬ 
ed a Committee to find a place 
for the annual meeting. 

This was fixed for the St. Char¬ 
les Hotel. The day chosen was 
Sunday, March 11th. Pre-dinner 
refreshments would be served 
at noon and dinner would be 
served about one in the after¬ 
noon. This will allow the coun¬ 
try boys of Mississippi and Louis¬ 
iana to get home at a respectable 
hour. 

As for changing the method 
of electing oficers, and organi¬ 
sation of a TEN-DOLLAR-A- 
YEAR club for the Brother Peter 
Fund were tabled until these 
ideas could be presented to the 
whole Alumni body in March. 
There was also a petition to the 
effect that part of the proceeds 
thus far collected for this fund 
be used beginning with the 
September term of school, and 
that the remainder be invested 
for future use, and the interest 
to be used for scholarships. 

More details regarding the 
meeting and price per individual 
will be sent the members in a 
letter in the very near future. 
Wives and sweethearts will be 
invited to the banquet this year. 

The thing that was stressed is 
that only dues paying members 
will be eligible to vote for the 
Officers. 


Seniors Pose 
For Pictures 


(By Gerald Shields) 

One day last week the Seniors 
received a big surprise. They 
were told that on the morrow they 
would be allowed to go to New 
Orleans by way of the School 
Busses to have their pictures 
taken in Cap and Gown. The 
surprise was not only for them, 
it was just as much a surprise 
to parents who were out shop¬ 
ping, friends who were out at 
work, and many others who just 
weren’t home. 

The dav was not lost by any 
means. There was plentv to see

Welcome Lent In Proper Spirit 


We usually dread the coming, of Lent because of the 
thought of impending sacrifices. Perhaps most of us have 
gone the whole year through without even the first thought 
of sacrifice and would have continued on this path had we 
not the Lenten reminder of our duty to do penance. The 
Church, being our mother, knows, like all mothers, the 
shortcomings of her children. She has prepared a means 
of helping us to overcome one of our greatest shortcomings. 
During the whole season of Lent, she continually keeps 
the spirit of penance before us by means of the Liturgy. 
She has chosen appropriate Epistles and Gospels to teach 
us the lesson of sacrifice. 

Lent should not be a time to dread, but a time we 
should be glad to see. It is especially easy during this 
time to have a thorough soul-cleaning. The thought to 
keep in mind is that Christ has suffered so much for us, and 
we so little for Him. 

“And the Truth Shall Make You Free ...” 

Read The Catholic Press 


One of the ancients, under divine inspiration, declared 
that “the eyes are the windows of the soul.” True of the 
mental and spiritual life of the individaul, this is every 
bit as true of human society in the aggregate, espec¬ 
ially as regards the medium of the printed word. 

What is set down in countless newspapers and period¬ 
icals, influences, to an extent not always appreciated, whole 
classes, nations, even international masses. The barrels 
of ink used daily in the printng presses of the world affect 
man’s zeal or woe more than do the ponds of alcohol liquors 
consumed in the same span of time. 

Today we are all aware of a dread menace of human 
enslavement parading under an economic term, Commu¬ 
nism. It thrives on the dissemination of falsehood by the 
printed word. 

Too many of us starve ourselyes intellectually, as far 
as Catholic reading is concerned. More Catholic reading, 
greater support and zeal for Catholic writing will be a body 
blow for the right side in the present death grapple for 
the world’s soul.—Brother Gunther. 


Volley Ball 


Have you ever played a fast game of Volley Ball, lil 
Volley ball is really supposed to be played? It is more i 
teresting than handball, and it takes a real he-man to pi; 
the fast, bobbing ball to win points. Some guys have £ 
idea it is all for a girl’s school. Maybe they seem to ha 1 
a monopoly on the game, but is a darn strange thing it 
one of the top games at the New Orleans Athletic Club. La 
year attempts were made to organize a league here at Sta 
islaus. For some reason or another interest dropped ai 
the game went over into a rough-housef. 

Your writer has been talking over the prospect of 
Volley Ball league with Brother Leo. He is all for it, ai 
I am sure would be glad to give some of his time to sho 
the fine points of the game, but he wants to see some intere 
among the fellows who would like to get into such a leagu 
Any way, Brother said he would think deeply and careful 
on the subject. Hence, all you fellows who are interest* 
and are willing to cooperate get your names to Brother Le 
pronto. 

Everyone will find plenty of exercise in this gam 
Every muscle gets a chance to function. Aside from tl 
physical side, a fellow will soon come to the conclusion th; 
there is a lot of science in the game also—especially if a f( 
low is out to win.—Eddie Schofield. 


ALUMNI NOTES 

i 


Walter Powell and Billy Lafitteau of Class 1950 were visitors 
last weekend from Springhill College. Just had completed mid-term 
exams and according to the boys, they did well. Congratulations. 

* * * 

Ruben Mansur and his brother Alex of Class 1950 were called 
home from Springhill to answer the call of the Dutch Army. On ar¬ 
riving at Aruba, Netherlands West Indies they were told to continue 
their studies for at least another year — but near at home. They have 
registered at the University at Bogota, Columbia. 

* * « 

Charleton O. Cantara, ’29, wrote us recently to inauire about dates 
for Alumni meetings, especially the Homecoming next fall. Charleton 
is now living in Vero Beach, Florida. Been a long time away from this 
column. Certainly glad to hear from you. 

* * # 

While in Greenwood lately for an Alumni meeting came across 
Emmett Chassaniol and Sam Giardina. Chassaniol is with his Dad 
in the Cotton Business while Sam has one of the best restaurants in 
Greenwood. 

* * * 

The newly organized Gulf Coast Alumni Regional want to get 
busy imediately after the Lenten season. They also want to see every 
member from the Coast area in attendance. The meeting will very 
probably be called in Bay St. Louis. Ray Kidd would like to entertain 
the boys for the occasion, and the majority of the fellows around here 
think it a swell idea of Ray’s to close the place that evening to the 
public. You will hear more on this score. Just keep your hat on tight 
until after Lent. 

Did you know that Dick Gannon, ’17, has a son studying at the 
Sacred Heart Juniorate at Daphne, Alabama. Dick, Jr., intends to be 
a Brother of the Sacred Heart. 

* * * 

Leo Heinen, Bill Wolf, and Clarence Daigle represented the La¬ 
fayette District at the Executive Committee meeting last Sunday, while 
Frank Noel, George Le Blanc, and F. Sprague Pugh represented the 
Donaldsonville area. The Gulf Coast was represented by Joe Scafidi, 
Warren Carver and Fred Herlihy. Edmond Deramee from Thibodaux 
was on hand as a member of the Brother Peter Memorial Scholarship 
Fund as was Mike Irwin, Omer Kuebel, Marion Green, Linden Braud. 
The Executive Committee is composed of Walter Gex, Martin Koch, 
Edmond Brignac, Peter Paul Banville, Dr. E. J. Petitjean and Dr. J. 
Henry Larose and Dr. J. J. Irwin. The last three could not be on hand 
because of professional duties.

Pete Latino, ’33, held sway over the Ball of the Virgilians last week 
' as king. His lovely Queen was Miss Wilma Frances Sareussen also of 
New Orleans. 


Carnovale Victim 
In Auto Accident 

Norman Carnovale, Class 1950 
died February 1st while en- 
route to the Foundation hospital 
in New Orleans. 

Norman and his twin brother 
Norbert were on their way back 
to the LSU School of Music when, 
about ten miles outside of Bay 
St. Louis, they stopped their car 
to check a flat. Just as Nor¬ 
man stepped from the car he was 
hit by a car driven by a young 
Negro who failed to stop to in¬ 
quire about the injured young 
man. 

Father Toner from the Kiln 
was one of the first on the spot. 
He gave Norman the last Sacra¬ 
ments while awaiting the ambu¬ 
lance. 

At the Kings Daughters Hos¬ 
pital in Bay St. Louis, Dr. Mar¬ 
ion Wolfe did everything possi¬ 
ble to relieve the sufferings of 
Norman. When it was discov¬ 
ered that both legs were broken, 
his family decided to move him 
to New Orleans. He died just 
as the ambulance was pulling 
into the Foundation Hospital en¬ 
trance. 

Norman had been a member of 
the Stanislaus band for six or 
more years. He was a zealous 
student of music and while here 
did everything possible to help 
put the Stanislaus band on top. 

In his Senior year, he and his 
brother, Norbert were chosen to 
represent Mississippi in the band 
which accompanied the Lions to 
their National Convention at At¬ 
lantic City. 

The Saint Stanislaus band 
acted as honor guards at Nor¬ 
man’s funeral in Biloxi which 
was held from the Nativity par¬ 
ish church. 


May They Rest 
In Peace 


In your charity pray for the 
souls of: 

Brother William Henry 
Father of Brother Leo 
Sister of Brother Gerald 
Mr. Dick Gannon, Class T7 
Norman Carnovale, Class ’50. 


THE HUNTER 

• ! 


(By Roger Manfre 

At this moment, somewhere in 
one of the darkest corners of 
Africa, a sleek tiger stalks its 
prey. With jet-like speed it 
pounces dows upon its querry to 
enjoy a wnrm, hard-earned meal. 

Meanwhile, back here in The 
States a tiny ol’ pussy cat on the 
St. Stanislaus campus is doing 
likewise but only in a smaller 
way. 

Romero, Brother Romuald’s pet 
cat, can be seen early in the 
morning creeping around the 
grounds looking for a victim. A 
week or so back he was caught 
playing “cat and mouse” outside 
the old dining room,. Now that 
spring is in the air (or is it?) 
and the robins have arrived, Ro¬ 
mero has an eddad attraction to 
his diet. But just when kitty 
is flying in for the kill Mr. Ro¬ 
bin flutters gently up into a 
nearby oak to live to see another 
day. 


The ten highest marks for the 
first semester in band went to 
Roland Hewick, 435 points; John 
Fadford, 428; James Williams, 
424; Sal D’Angelo 423; Joe Kers, 
421; Bruce Favre, 417; Edgar 
Becnel, 415; George Crane, 414; 
Richard Pollet, 411; and AI 
Burns, 408. 

A total of 440 points was pos¬ 
sible. A number of other boys 
rated 90% of the points possible 
rated 90% of the points possible 
which is necessary at the end 
of the year to be eligible for a 
band award. The point system 
is based on conduct and musical 
endeavor.

Topic Of The Da^j 

(By Larry Scharff) 

A matter of primfc importan] , 
to many of tbe older boys at $■ 
Staninislaus is the question ( 
the 18-year-old draft now 1 befoi 
the House Armed Services CoitCo 
mittee and the Senate Pfeparec h 
ness Subcommittee. At presemm 
the draft reaches men from psc 
to 26. air 

There has been much oppositi(P r< 
1.0 this plan, perhaps more oppos 3 * 6 
tion than backing. But the mtFL 
who are backing it, such as Seen* c 
tary of Defense Marshalll and Ss ^ 
lective Service Director Majf v 
General Lewis B. Hershey are Gc 
a position to get pretty well wbm 
they want. : tl 

However, the two committe o 
debating over the issue are relure* 
tant about dipping into 18-yeaLe 
old manpower immediately. T! ed 
House committee wants the $ us 
fense department to look into tl )m 
possibilities of lowering prese^ 1 
physical and mental standards, ir e< 
ducting single men aged 26 ar er 
27, and inducting men with d? ar 
nendents, particularly those ma:^ € 
ried since the outbreak of figh^ n 
mg in Korea. 

Mrs. Anna M. Rosenberg, assis v 
ant secretary of defense, said “tlr 1 
between 75,000 and 80,000 of tn 
nation’s 4-F’s (men rejected by 
cause of mental and physic 
reasons) can be put into full a^ € 
tive service by slightly lowerii? r j 
mental standards and strictly ei T] 
forcing physical standards.” ^ 
Recent events have shown ve:^ 
clearly that whether substitu, 0] 
draft plans are accepted or 
the 18-year-old draft will con^ 
sooner or later. 


If, and when, the 18-year-o{ n 
plan goes through, ample defe ia] 
ments will be provided for edii c 
cation which will be set up to keeta 
the nation supplied with scientistic 
technicians, and profession* 
men. However, every 18-yea\p 
old found fit wlil have to tahn 
a minimum of four months trailer 
ing before entering college. yt 
The defense department dci 
dared that of the 18-year-olds in 
be placed in training, about 7fcri 
000 will be declared eligible tin 
enroll in college, about 5O,0(in 
will be deferred for ROTC, ai i 
about 10,000 will attend schod 
in uniform at government e:_ 
pense to stuy “specialties of cL 
rect value to military.” ( 

Therefore, some 135,000 youtU| 
of 18 (more than half of tf* 
usual 200,000 male freshm* 
class) will be able to attend co 
lege. ROTC and NROTC pri 
frams will be improved and e’f 
tended to cover more than 200 
000 men.

Rocks Drop 
Tourney Opener 

(By Gerald Shields) 

The Stanislaus hoopsters drop¬ 
ped a close game to Pascagoula 
31 to 30 in the opening game of 
the Sub-Regional Tourney held 
at Picayune last weekend. 

The taller Rockachaws had a 
decided lead at the close of the 
half with two points against 
their slower moving rivals. Stan¬ 
islaus came back in the third 
quarter to rack up thirteen points 
to lead Pascagoula 30 to 22. 

In ihe last quarter the boys 
from Jackson County really got 
to work on the Rockachaws. They 
fed their sharpshooter, Perez 
well. When the whistle sound¬ 
ed Stanislaus had scored one 
charity marker, while their ri¬ 
vals had hung up ten points. It 
was just a case of hitting the 
basket and having the ball take 
that vexing roll around the hoop, 
only to drop into the hands of a 
Pascagoula player. 

High point man for the game 
was Perez with 18, while Jerry 
Lyttle of Stanislaus garnered 11. 


Hou) They Stand 

Up to now the Rock-A-Chaw 
basketball team has been having 
a victorious season, winning six 
while dropping only two of their 
regular-season games. Their 
losses were to St. Martin by 
the slim margin of one point, 
57-56, in which two over-time 
periods were played and to St. 
Joseph of Pass Christian 35-33. 
Meanwhile their 'victims were 
Sellers 34-29, Biloxi 30-25, Pass 
Hight 30-24, and Sellers 53-43.

Around The Campus 

By JOE CLARK 

It looks as if we are going to 
have an organized tennis team 
this year, which will be under 
the tutelage of Brother Canisius. 
Some of those who played last 
year, and who are expecting to 
return are Mike Gasteazoro, 
Louis Lucas, Wallace Pappado- 
polo, Ernest Manzon and yours 
truly. New players who look 
like prospects are “Luke” Kem- 
mferly, and Pat Jefferson. The 
team will miss a good prospect, 
in Tom Scardino, a senior who 
is now in the Navy. 

* * * 

Some moth eaten excuses for 
tardiness still seem to work. 
Don’t want to mention names 
but here’s some of the excuses: 
a long freight; the alarm didn’t 
go off; Mother forgot to awaken 
me; had to follow the Fire En¬ 
gine; the Traffic Officer wished 
to have a heart to heart talk 
with me.

“I hear that the government 
is sponsoring a trip to the Far 
East for qualified young men 19 
to 25 years of age. The point 
of most interest is a peninsula to 
the southeast of China known as 
Korea. Those that participate in 
the trip are picked on a com¬ 
petitive basis from information 
obtained in questionnaires sent 
to a large number of youths 
throughout the country.”—From 
the Springhillian.

The Confraternity delegates 
from Saint Stanislaus, Mike 
Haas, Joe Scafidi, Scott Assen¬ 
heimer t and Joe Clark who at¬ 
tended the convention at Mobile 
wish to extend their thanks to 
their hosts the students of Mc¬ 
Gill who housed them during the 
three day convention. They also 
wish to extend their thankfulness 
to the Brothers who aided them 
by their guidance during the con¬ 
vention.

whether splitting the atom was 
a wise crack. 


S. S. C. Youngsters 
Win Opener, 35-16 

(By Gerald Shields) 

After humbling the Waveland 
Panthers 35-16 before a fair 
home-town crowd on the 13th, 
the St. Stanislaus Tiny Rocks 
are now preparing for a Febru¬ 
ary 28 Hancock County Gram¬ 
mar School Tourney at Bay High. 
■ Before 30 seconds of the first 
I period elapsed, Wilson boosted 
the S. S. C. youngsters to the 
lead with two scores. Using a 
fast offensive and a tight man- 
to-man defensive, the Rocks 
starved out their opponents 9-0 
at the period’s end. 

In the second period the Pan¬ 
thers rallied against Brother 
Canisius’ second string, but still 
trailed 12-8 as the whistle end- 


A & G 


ed the first half. 

Val Wilson, the Rock’s first 
string right forward crowned 
himself high mark man on his 
team by chalking up nine points. 
Bernard Wolfe and Jack Calhoun 
proved to be credits to the Tiny 
Rocks with their outstanding 
offensive work. “Fats” Hartfield, 
the invaders’ star defesse man, 
worked havoc on his opponents 
would be scoring plays through¬ 
out the game.

Just Reflections 


(By Thomas Aicklen) 


TRY 

McDonald’s 

They Usually Have It 


What goes on in Stalin’s mind 
Is he worried? Just think of ah 
his troubles. Does Joe worry 
about those radio waves that 
beam the Voice of America into 
Russian ears? Can he be sure 
that the NKVD finds and con¬ 
fiscates every receiver? Does it 
alarm him that even many of his 
top men secretly listen to the 
Voice? Can he be sure that all 
his satellites are loyal to him? 
Can he be sure that there won’t 
be more Yugoslavias? Yes, Joe 
has plenty of troubles. But that 
does not mean that we should 
help him, and yet that’s exactly 
what we’re doing. Why don’t 
we stop telling him just what 
we intend to do! Let him find 
out after we’ve done it. 

Why not double and redouble 
the Voice of America until the 
300 transmitters he uses to jam 
the Voice are not sufficient? Why 
not make MILLIONS OF CHEAP 
RADIOS AND DELIVER THEM, 
by balloon if necessary where 
the people behind the Iron Cur¬ 
tain can find them? 

Why not find ways to organise 
“freedom cells” under the Bear’s 
nose just as his fiveman Com¬ 
munist “cells” are conspiring un¬ 
der our noses? Thousands of 
brave men waiting a chance for 
vengeance are willing to risk 
their lives to destroy the Krem¬ 
lin tyrants. 

By a hundred means the 
United Nations can keep Stalin 
upset, put cracks in his Iron 
Curtain and undermine the whole 
Communist empire. 

The Kremlin’s ultimate goal is 
nothing less than a world Union 
of Soviet Republics. Such a 
Krem-lin “peace” would be the 
peace of Alcatraz or Sing Sing, 
but it would not be peace. 


SENIORS POSE 

(Continued from front page) 
are not froml the city, they had 
a fine opportunity of getting 
around with some of the fellows 
who really knew the city . 

When bus time rolled around 
at four-forty-five everyone was on 
time except one-—his girl forgot 
to wind the clock, but he did 
get home all right in time for 
supper. 

As to the results of the visit. 
Copies have arrived from the 
Tipery Studio. Some fellows 
didn’t know that they made 
such an appearance. Sure they 
were flattering. At least that’s 
what some seem to think. Took 
a couple of guys almlost one 
whole day to make the choice 
of what they wanted. Everyone 
knows the photo lens just can’t 
be fooled. 


PEEPING THRU 
THE KEYHOLE 


Bob Castillo who pretended to 
act the role of the “Lone Wolf” 
has apparently turned into a 
“Lover Boy,” Eh Nunie? . . . 
Lulu, I thought you used to like 
the song “The Volga Boatman,” 
What happened, was it a change 
of mind or heart?v . . I under¬ 
stand Noelie’s has been reading 
up on all the true love magazines 
lately, better watch out T. J. She 
may try out her tactics on you 
... It looks like Mugs is always 
after one of our school stars. At 
the present it seems to be our 
sophomore sensation, Bobbie. 
What happened Wipper, no foot¬ 
ball jacket? . . . Martha Mossy 
has left the Deleware for Ethan 
Donald Olleni What happened, 
did the climate get too cold for 
you? It has us rather puzzled 
why some people call Fritz the 
“Beach Comer.” It’s no w;onder 
why the local girls won’t give 
Jeny L. a break. I believe they 
are finally convinced his heart 
belongs in New Orleans. Poor 
Ronald his jar of honey turned 
into a jar of vinegar ... It seems 
that Ann Schmidt is making a 
habit of deciding to go out with 
a certain football player always 
on the “Spur of the Moment.” 
Say, Paul, stop telling us that 
cock and bull story that you lost 
your pin. Maybe a certain gal 
m New Orleans could tell you 
where it is. Better watch that 
Rabbit, Susie . . . Believe it or 
not we have ^a request for a 
dedication all the way from New 
Orleans, I understand Kathleen 
puts Jerry L. in a cloud with, 
“I Only Have Eyes for You.” 
Al’s new theme song seems to be 
“Ba.Ba-Black Sheep” . . . Next 
is a general dedication of “En¬ 
joy yourself” for all the boys 
whose arrows point to Korea

By John Saravanja) 

The first week of February will 
be well remembered by many of 
the members of the present Senior 
Class. During those days, seven of 
the class had to repair to bed in 
the infirmary with swollen heads. 
Well the heads did look very much 
out of proportion but this was fin¬ 
ally discovered to be all. in the 
glands under both ears. Some fel¬ 
lows had to remain more than the 
usual nine days because of compli¬ 
cations. Chappy Stewart holds the 
record. He occupied the same bed 
for several weeks. Thanks to the 
fine treatment from Doctor Wolfe 
and Miss Ellis, R. N., Chappy is 
again on the campus. 

One of the most popular objects 
around the infirmary was the mir¬ 
ror. Every morning the fellows 
made the excuse to get some fresh 
water, but the real and only rea¬ 
son was to see what had happen¬ 
ed during the night. Was there an 
increase, or was there cessation 
in the swelling? The usual remark 
after getting a personal reflection 
was, “Gee, if Ma could only see 
me now”. 

It was very strange to some that 
a couple of fellows never had any 
trouble to eat everything that 
came in on the tray, in fact, sev¬ 
eral were able to clean up the 
trays of the less unfortunates who 
usually took one long look at the 
tray, then pulled up the blanket 
in disgust. A fellow really hates 
to confess that he can’t eat. 

The invasion of the mumps was 
not monopolized by the boarders. 
The day scholars, had their share 
as well. We understand that big 
Luke Caruso had a real swell 
looking mug. A picture taken of 
him at that time might have been 
mistaken for the full moon. 


SENATE PASSES 
DRAFT ACT 


1LUMNI HOLDS 
ANNUAL MEET 

The annual meeting of the St. 
Itanislaus Alumni Association 
/as held at the Saint Charles 
lotel, Sunday, March 11. Some 
ne hundred and ten members 
/ere present to hear Charley 
'aubert give a masterly address ' 
!n the obligations men of a Cath- 
lic School are bound to maintain. 

In part, Mr. Jaubert said, “that 
lelf mastery and self control were 
'btained by prayer and good ex- 
mple. He said that just as we 
earned the fundamentals from the 
ood Brothers while under their 
utelage at Saint Stanislaus by the 
xample of these lives, so too, we 
s students of a great school must 
i our individual lives live at all 
imes as practicing Catholics in 
11 activities.” 

.Mr. Jaubert took the fifteen 
».ecades of the Rosary and showed 
hat in each mystery there is an 
pplication for each of us in our 
very day life 

The members present went on 
ecord to have the Secretary no- 
Lfy the Alumni of the adoption of 
E TEN DOLLAR A YEAR CLUB 
s a means of building the Brother 
‘eter Memorial Scholarship Fund. 
They also voted to allow the ad- 
isory Board of this fund full dis¬ 
cretion as to the method by which 
these funds were to be disposed. 

* An amendment to change the 
nethod of electing the Officers of 
he Association was killed. 

„ The oldest member present was 
P. Lynch of Morgan City who 
•ttended St. Stanislaus in 1891. 
"harley Munson, another old tim- 
r, a member of Class 1896 was 
r ery active in all discussion that 
vere presented Class of 1912 had 
hve of its six members present. 
-Ijass 1924 was also well repre¬ 
sented as was Class 1926, the Sil¬ 
er Jubilee Class. The Golden 
ubilee Class has gone to its eter¬ 
nal reward. The last member, John 
k Sportono of Bay St. Louis, 
•assed away a few years ago. 

SPRING FEVER 
UTS CAMPUS 

The rare old southern disease 
ailed spring fever hit the campus 
nth the first days of March. The 
low warm breezes wafting in 
^°m the Gulf were soothing to 
ie brow, heavy on the eyes, and 
Apparently a greater weight upon 
erves and thinking equipment. It 
ist seemed so nice to just stretch 
Lit on the lawn, gaze at the lazy 
ouds in th esky, and listen to 
# ie murmuring of the waves hit- 
ng the shore line. All this was 
•ost conducive to get into the 
■^ands of morpheus, and to live in 
land of dreams. 

But last Sunday night old man 
inter let us know that he was 
ill around. Overcoats, jackets, 
e^eaters, and steam heat were 
lain at a premium. There was a 
Weet smell of camphor around the 
masses on Monday, indicative that 
boys had put away many 
lings until the fall. At this writ¬ 


ing the cold snap seems to be 
lessening, and soon that drowsy 
feeling will recall us to Spring. 

An added attraction to the com¬ 
ing of spring was the invasion of 
some pesky little insects called 
gnats. They are so small that 
screens offer no resistance to their 
invasion. Two or three hanging 
about the neck, or tangling in the 
hair, or invading an ear - can just 
about set a fellow crazy. Like the 
Chinese the more killed, the more 
they advance to the attack. At 
least the cold snap from Canada 
did some good in getting rid of 
these pestiferous blood suckers. 
They completely spoiled the day 
dreams induced by the warm and 
lazy zephyrs that invaded the 
classrooms. Everyone seemed to 
have swimming in mind, but with 
our delayed cold wave, every one 
seemed to be contented to wait a 
bit longer to use the spring board 
at the end of the pier. 

No wonder the poet asked what 
is so “rare as a day in June.” The 
Stanislaus students add to this 
by adding what is so rare as a day 
in April. 


EIGHTEEN YEAR OLDS AF¬ 
FECTED BY NEW LAW; UNI¬ 
VERSAL TRAINING PART OF 
NEW LAW 


The U. S: Senate last week 
passed the draft bill which will 
require all Eighteen year old 
males to serve a minimum of 
twenty-four months in the Arm¬ 
ed. Forces. Included in the bill 
is a Universal Military Training- 
clause requiring service of at least 
six months for 18 year olds. This 
is the first Universal Military 
law ever passed in the history 
of the country. The bill now 
goes to the House of Represen¬ 
tatives for consideration. There 
will be some minor cnanges in 
the bill. Several of the South., 
ern Congressmen have already 
said there was no way of pre¬ 
venting the passage of the act 
to prevent the calling of 18 
year olds to the colors 

The present law requ ling the 
service of men from 19 to 26 
expires July 9th. The new law 


Last Saturday night the Rockachaws were for the 
fourth successive year crowned State Boxing Champs. In 
addition to the team trophy, they also took the heavy¬ 
weight crown. - '' ’ 

Stanislaus wan -with 38 points. Gulf coast Military 
was second with 29 anil the Lightweight trophy. Bay High 
took 23 points for third place while Demonstration High 
of Hattiesburg, was fourth with 20 points. Kiln High and 
Water Valley were tied for fifth place winners with 6 
points each. 


Seniors Attend 
Closed Retreats 

(By Joe Clark) 

The annual three days closed 
retreats for the Senior Class were 
held March 1 to 4; 6th to 9th, 
and 11th to 14th. The class this 
year was divided : ^into three 
groups because of the large 
number in the Class, which is 
the largest number in the his¬ 
tory of Stanislaus. 

The first group arrived at 
Xavier Hall, Pass Christian 
shortly after five o’clock where 
they were greeted by Rev. Fath¬ 
er Sheridan, S. J. The men 
were assigned their rooms, given 
a pep talk concerning what was 
expected of them for the three 
days with an accent on Silence, 
Solitude, and Prayer. 

The first and third groups had 
Rev. Father Lehmkuhl, S. J. as 
preacher and guide. The second 
group heard Father Cooper, S. 
J. with Father Lemkuhl as as¬ 
sistant in place of Father Sheri¬ 
dan who had to be away. 

Five talks were given each 
day. All these talks were on 
fundamentals and all were most 
applicable in the lives of each 
and every man attending the 
retreat. Ample time was given 
the retreatants to ponder over 
the talks, to read such matter 
as pertained to the retreat, and 
still allowed time to make fre¬ 
quent visits to the blessed sac¬ 
rament. 

Xavier. Hall is most fitting for 
a closed retreat. The building is 
far enough from the highway to 
keep out traffic noises, then the 
surroundings of trees, flowers, 
and the whole serenity of the 
place includes solitude and peace 
of mind. 

All the men who made the re¬ 
treat feel as if something “dif¬ 
ferent has happened.” This is 
one activity in a man’s life 
where the evidence is not on the 
surface. Judging by the amount 
of prayer indulged m by those 
who participated; everyone must 
have made a grand retreat. 


will go into effect upon the 
signature of the president.

The Dramatic Club under the 
direction of Brother Elbert,* S. C. 
is busy prepping for the Varfe- 
ty show to be presented April 
19 at the Saint Joseph Auditor¬ 
ium. Some one hundred boys 
and girls make up the cast for

of music by the Saint Stanislaus 
orchestra; movies , ; qnd 1.commu¬ 
nity singing; drills, .choir and 
soloists; dances, an Irish jig; a

who attend will get more than 
their money’s worth. >.

ica the BEAUTIFUL.

Book Reviews 


TO THE GRADERS 


THE ROCKACHAW is and always has been a stu 
dent paper. It has always been understood that happen¬ 
ings about the Grade School Department should merit the 
same space as that of the Upperclassmen. It is most 
gratifying to see in this issue so many stories by-lined by 
gratfying to see in this issue so many stories by-lined by 
boys from the Grammar School Department. Your Editor 
is always ready to welcome new? blood, so if there are 
any other writers with ambitions and who wish to sacri¬ 
fice a bit of their time for the benefit of the paper, and 
for the good of their classmates—come on in . . . the water’s 
fine.—Gerald Shields. 


ORCHIDS 


Orchids to Dick Thames and his scrappy boxers. Coach 
and team certainly merit the Navy, “Well Done” commen¬ 
dation. 

Many of the boys worked under difficulties in that 
the boxing season conflicted with basketball. Very fre¬ 
quently the practice sessions had to be curtailed because 
of the basketball games, but nothng daunted them in the 
accomplshment of their goal. 

The light-weight divison need not feel badly because 
they dd not get the trophv. We cannot take everything 
every year. The smaller boys contributed no small share 
in the final victorv bv nutting more pep into the heavier 
men to take up wh^ro they left off. 

Again, to Coach Manager, and Team thank - again for 
bringing the State Championship St. Stanislaus for the 
fourth consecutive year.—Roger Manfre. 


(By John Saravanja) 

The recent additions to the li¬ 
brary are a series of sea adven¬ 
ture novels that pack a high 
calibre of entertainment and 
good reading for the high school 
oys. Commander Edward Ell 
berg takes the reader into the 
mechanical and complicated 
wonderland of the modern sub¬ 
marine. The reader becomes one 
of its crew and when the sub¬ 
marine meets with a sudden 
accident he seeks to find an es¬ 
cape from that deperate and 
seemingly hopeless situation. 
“Thirty Fathoms Deep,” is the 
exciting tale of a salvage crew 
that seeks the wreck of an old 
Spanish galleon sunk nearly three 
hundred years ago off the 
coast of Peru. This ship was 
believed to be laden with loot— 
jewels and bars of gold for the 
treasury of the King of Spain. 
Rather than aloow it to fall 
into the hands of Drake and his 
corsairs, the Spanish scuttled the 
“Santa Cruz” and let her sink 
With her treasure. The modern 
salvagers had a hard time 
finding the exact location of the 
wreck and the mighty ocean 
drives innumerable obstacles at 
them before they get to the 
sunken vessel. 

Other books by the same au¬ 
thor are also available, such as: 
“Men Under the Sea,” “Hell on 
Ice,” “Under the Red Sea Sun,” 
“Spanish Ingots,” and “No Ban¬ 
ners, No Bugles.” 

“The Akikuyu,” by Fr. C. Cag_ 
nalo, I. M. C. Father Cagnalo

ditions of this forgotten African 
tribe. This book was sent by

Stcred Heart at Nyeri, Kenya 
where the book was printed. 


little fellows had another string 
of their own coming in with the 
flu. Thanks to the modern 
drugs their stay was short. 

Miss Ellis deserves all th 
praise we can possibly give her 
for the faithfulness to duty o 
which she gave so many exam¬ 
ples. For a time she had no 
help at night. That meant that 
her sleeping hours were cur- 
ailed to dispense aurecomycin to 
the patients with the mumps, 
and then to watch the temper¬ 
atures of the seriously sick.

MISS THELMA ELLIS, R. N. 

No more shall wfe think that 
a Nurse’s job is merely dispens¬ 
ing medicines and taking tem¬ 
peratures. It was and is mak- 
ng the patient more comfortable 
n bed, answering a dozen fool- 
sh questions put by nervous pa¬ 
tients, and added to all this 
keeping the infirmary spick an 
;>pan at all times. 

Hats off to Miss Ellis for a 
work which certainly earned the 
commendation, “Well Done.”

SPOUT LIGHT ... 

By ROGER MANFRE 


Hats off to Coach Dick Thames over the wonderful showing of 
his Mitt-men. For the fourth successive year his boys carry top honors 
in the State. The Rockachaws this year were not expetced to show 
much class, due no doubt that there had been no inter-scholastic 
meetings prior to the State Tourney. Good training and practice cer¬ 
tainly put the Rocks in the best of condition - hence, our toppers make 
a grand slam to Coach to Coach Thames.

John Guthrie, Paul Palermo, Jimmy Holmes, A1 Burns, and Mike 
Haas won the heavy weight division by adding up a total of twenty- 
three points among them. 

The favorite in the heavies, Gulf Coast Military was swamped by 
Stanislaus boys, but really went to town among the light weights. The 
boys from Gulf Coast Numbered twelve, a representative in every 
division of weights.

In the 65-70 pound class which does not count for points in the 
final count, little Edmund Blaize won from Butler of Gulf Coast Mili¬ 
tary, then took a Bye to the finals where Eddie dropped a close de¬

The team played seven games

the year and participated in one 
stourney. 

v Games were played on a home 
e |and home basis with Waveland 
j Grammar, St. Josephs. Pass

Rocks won four of these: Wave¬ 
band 12, Rocks 36; Rocks 31, 
f'St. Josephs 29. Rocks 31, Pass 
f'High 30. In this game Phil 
Chisesi sunk 13 points and was 
3 a consistent point gainer for the 
Rocks in all games. Val Wilson 
iwas second in scoring honors. 

The best defensive work was 
done by Bernard Wolfe, Maurice

Mother members of the squad 
are: Jack Calhoun, Leon Fazzio, 
Phil Kramer, John Glover, Parker 
Maurie, Louis Maumus, George

1 fidi, and Don Engelhorn. 

In the Bay High Invitational 
Tournament the Tiny Rocks 
tmet the elongaed boys from Sel¬

The photo bug has hit the campus - Jack Howerton has grabbed 
the mantle once worn by Phil Scheurer. Buddy Moore is another 
dabbler with the little birdies. Ronald Gross has a cute little camera 
too . . . Phil Scheurer was caught in the draft lately and yours truly 
was downed by a draught . . . Sure miss Phil when it comes to getting 
this paper to the printer on time .... Here’s hoping Phil is having 
a good time at Dallas despite his hard grind of training for the Air 
Force . . . Coach Thames is attending a Coach’s clinic at Jackson, 
Mississippi this week end .... Sorry we could not find a cut of A1 
Burns in our morgue ... he certainly made a hit with his comeback 
last weekend in the Boxing Tourney . . . Mike Haas had a beautiful 
“peeper” to carry with him to retreat ... At least he didn’t walk into 
a door knob . . . Wonder whose initials Joe Scafidi was carving on 
the tree at Xavier Hall last Wednesday morning? . . . One thing about 
a retreat, I understand it raises a terrific appetite . . . calls are made 
for seconds and even thirds. 


Maynard of G. C. M. A. won easily from our Billy Martin in the 
semi-finals of the 80-85 pound division. Billy retrieved himself in the 
Consolation section by taking over Cuevas of the Kiln by way of a 
forfeit. This was the first year of boxing for Luis Balsa of Venezeula, 
and Billy Martin from Honduras. 

Gene Schwartz held on to his State Title crown for the third 
successive year by victories over Jimmy McArthur of Bay High, and 
John Kilpatrick of Gulf Coast in the finals. 

Johnny Guthrie demonstrated that a left jab while good must have 
more help with a good right. Time and again Johnny hooked Geo. 
Roundville of Water Valley when the latter believed his jabs were 
having a grand effect.

SPRING IS HERE 


(By Roger Manfre) 

Spring “has done arrived at 
Saint Stanislaus.” If you don’t 
believe it just try to walk across 
the campus any afternoon after 
school. Baseballs are flying in 
all directions. Would-be pitch¬ 
ers are somewhat wild, but every 
one has to get a start some¬ 
where. Just keep your eyes 
open and maybe a ball won’t 
crack your dome for a headache. 

This is the season I like. The 
poets can rave about the birds, ( 
the bees, the flowers ,and the 
budding fig trees—for me, the 
crack of a bat against horse- 
hide is “the mostest,” I want 
Which tells me that again base¬ 
ball is here, and summer can¬ 
not be far behind. 

The best games are not al¬ 
ways with the Varsity. Just 
come up any afternoon and see 
the games on the campus. We 
usually have three games on at 
once. Choose a safe place where 
you can perhaps see all at the. 
same time and you will also see 
everyone out to win. Every 
batter expects a home run when 
he socks the old apple and what 
a look of disappointmetn when 
a guy out in left takes it in so 
easy. 

Seen a lot of fellows who 
started here at Stanislaus in the 


same quiet way and who event¬ 
ually went up to the Major Lea¬ 
gues, Shorty Moore who was 
with the Pirates when they won 
the World Series years' ago; 
Zeke Bonura who was with the 
White Sox, Washington, and 
ended his career with the Giants 
—in recent years there was 
Bill Gibbens who is still the 
property of the Pirates. He is 
now a member of the Hollywood 
team. That’s the team which in. 
[ troduced the shorts for the play¬ 
ers last year.

Hadacol May Relieve Cause of Troubles 
When Due to a Lack of Vitamins Bi, 
B 2 , Niacin and Iron, that Interfere with 
Fun and Studies! 


The marvelous benefits of HADA¬ 
COL, today’s great nutritional 
formula, are equally helpful to 
young and old alike who are suffer¬ 
ing from a lack of Vitamins Bi, B 2 , 
Iron and Niacin. 

Here’s what these two pretty 
coeds, who may have been suffer¬ 
ing from such deficiencies, have to 
say: “We are two college students 
writing you this letter. Before tak¬ 
ing HADACOL we were nervous, 
restless and unable to sleep at 
night. We found we were foggy 
all day and ached all over. Now 
after taking only 3 bottles of HAD¬ 
ACOL we are different persons. 
We are full of life and energy and 
our aches have completely disap¬ 
peared. Thank you for your won¬ 
derful discovery of that r ry - ’ ^Me 
product, HADACOL.” 


r o: 


This is typical of thousands i 
letters telling how HADACOL re¬ 
lieves the real and basic cause 
deficiency distresses. For HADA*J*( 
COL provides more than the mini 
mum daily requirement of Vitaly 
mins Bi, B 2 , Niacin and Iron, 
helpful quantities of Phosphoru * 
and Calcium. It builds up th, 
hemoglobin content of the bloolkpl 
(when Iron is needed) to sen f 
these precious Vitamins and Min I 
erals to every part of th I 


Pr 



body and to every L^Jy organ. 

Why not find out today whi 
thousands say, “Only HADACO 
gives you that Wonderful Hadaci 
Feeling At your druggist: Triij 
size only $1.25; large family si 2 
only $3.50. 


SENATOR DUDLEY J. LE BLANC 
The Best Friend You Ever Had 


Senator LeBlanc has been in 
public life since he was quite 
a young man and has always 
advocated the cause of the op¬ 
pressed and downtrodden. It 
was he who introduced the law 
in Louisiana that gives every 
deserving man and woman ir 
Louisiana a pension of $50.CG. 
It was he who introduced the 
law creating the office of Service 
Commissioner, the duties of 
which office is to see that every 
deserving ex-soldier and veter¬ 
an receives his just reward from 
the Federal and State Govern¬ 
ment. It was he who has con¬ 
sistently fought the battle of 
the school teachers in the halls 
of the legislature. He worked 
untiringly for the farmers and 



Senator Dudley J. LeBlanc 


the laboring man. 

You can place your confidence 
in a man who has by his past 
activities demonstrated to you 
that he is your friend. If you 
are suffering from deficiencies 
of Vitamins Bi, B 2 , Niacin and 
Iron, don’t hesitate, don’t 
buy HADACOL today.

For H. Fitzpatrick A m mh Gmnd Concer/ 


President Truman Orders The 
deferment Of College Students 


Aptitude Tests Required 
if All Students Subject 
jj To Draft Cali 

president Truman in a sweep- 
lg order last Saturday provid- 
d draft deferments for hun¬ 
dreds of thousands of college stu- 
Jents. 

I At present there is not pro¬ 
vision in the order for High 
School students, or for those 
etting out of high school this 
pring and who plan to enter 
lollege next fall. If such a 
loung man reaches 19 before 
|e gets into college he can de¬ 
fend only on his draft board’s 
ecision under old orders. 

, The Executive order author¬ 
ises draft boards to pass over 
Students whose grades are good 
who pass a special aptitude 
z |st to be given throughout the 
ountry, May 26. 

Those who enter college in 
,une will have an opportunity of 
aking the tests on June 16th 
nd 30th. For those who are 
nder 18 when entering college 
hese tests will be given only 
|fter they have completed their 
Irst year of college work. 
Registrants can obtain printed 
istructions about tests, along 
nth application blanks, from 
ny of the draft boards about 
ypril 12 or soon thereafter. 

Although the passing mark 
.as not been established as yet, 
fficials have indicated that per_ 
.aps it will be 70 out of a pos- 
ible 100. The passing mark 
|ould be raised or lowered, 
kmever, according to whether 
nore or fewer men were need¬ 
l'd for the armed services, 
j The tests will be somewhat 
,imilar to those taken last fall 
or Naval Reserve Officer 
Training placements. The tests 
^vill deal with ability to read 
^nd comprehend materials colle- 
ftans must study. Arithmetic- 
1| reasoning will require no ad- 
anced mathematical knowledge. 


Former Band Member 
Rates In U. S. Army 

Clarence Hava who graduated 
from St. Stanislaus in 1949 and 
who had been a member of the 
band for several years really rated 
wtih his top Sergeant a few days 
after starting basic training. 

On the secord or third day on 
the marching field, Clarence was 
the only recruit who seemed to 
know anything about the maneu¬ 
vers of marching and close order 
drill. 

After the day’s work, the Ser¬ 
geant asked Clarence where he 
learned the various commands 
and maneuvers. On being told that 
he had been a member of the St. 
Stanislaus band for several years, 
he was given charge of fourteen 
men in order to inculcate some of 
the rudiments of marching. 

Hope this will rate Clarence a 
sergeancy in a short time. Aside 
from the wearing of the chevrons, 
the pay envelope at the end of the 
month will have considerable 
more than what is being drawn by 
a raw recruit. It also goes to show 
that the band has some rewards 
aside from the musical angle. 

CAMPUS GETS 
NEW BACKSTOP 

(By Roger Manfre) 

The old time backstop that wea¬ 
thered the storms for almost twen¬ 
ty-seven years is no more. A new 
all steel baseball backstop has re¬ 
placed the wooden structure that 
was built by Brother Peter and 
some students about 1924. 

All the upper works of the back¬ 
stop were still in perfect condi¬ 
tion. That part of the pole which 
had to bear the weight of the 
whole and to stand the rains and 
water failed, but even then could 


Pass Christian—Funeral ser¬ 
vices were held Wednesday 
looming at 9 A. M. for Hugh 
Washington Fitzpatrick, 56, who 
died at his home, 503 East Sec¬ 
ond street. 

Services were conducted from 
his home with a requiem Mass 
at St. Paul’s Catholic church; 
Rev. J. P. McGlade officiated. 
Burial was in St. Paul’s ceme¬ 
tery. 

The husband of Mrs. Elena 
Patenotte Fitzpatrick, he is also 
survived by five sisters. Misses 
Margaret, Nette and Catherine 
Fitzpatrick, all of Pass Chris¬ 
tian; Mrs. Leo D. Fuchs, of 
Memphis, Tennessee; and sister 
M. Camillus, Convent of Mer¬ 
cy, Pass Christian. 

Mr. Fitzpatrick was born July 
3, 1894, and attended school at 
Pass Christian and St. Stanis¬ 
laus College, Bay St. Louis. He 
was a veteran of World War 
One, having served as a lieuten¬ 
ant. 

He spent his life in public 
service, retiring in 1947 because 
of ill health. He served as 
postmaster of Pass Christian and 
member of the Board of Super¬ 
visors of Harrison County for 
Beat 3.

The only grievance heard about

no decent foot grips on the new

I new work in the Navy. 


(By Gerald Shields) 

The Saint Stanislaus band lived up to its. past reputa- 
tation last weekend in rendering one of the most interest¬ 
ing and best rendered programs, within recent years. Bro¬ 
ther Romuald and his players deserve a well earned com¬ 
mendation for their fine performance. 

Many of the performers are making their first year 
of service with the band. Both veterans and novices gave 
a fine performance which was witnessed by the audience 
and their response with generous applause after each piece 
played. The hall was crowded with the well wishers of 
the band, their friends and classmates. It was standing 
room only even before the program gat under way. 


Frankensleins Monster 
Visits Bay St. Louis 

“The House of Frankenstein” 
of ghouls, monsters, werewolves, 
and ghosts that Bay St. Louis 
has ever heard of, or ever will 
see, was assembled for a horror- 
show at the A. & G. Theater 
last Tuesday night. A traveling 
horror-show presented on stage 
magic tricks, slight of hand, 
jokes, and other lively entertain¬ 
ment accompanied by weird 
blinking of lights. 

“The House of Frankenstein’ 
preceded the stage show to get 
the audience into the proper 
mood. The heighth of .the eve¬ 
ning, however, came when amid 
the vivid crashes of lightning, 
Frankenstein himself appeared 
on stage, grabbed one of the ma¬ 
gician’s helpers, and with a pair 
of scissors cut off his head, and 
then descended into the pitch j 
dark audience with the severed 
head still clutched in his bloody 
hands. Simultaneously luminous 
ghosts appeared above the chill¬ 
ed patrons swooping down un¬ 
expectedly to send a chorus of 
screams adding to the general 
chaos. 

The magician’s last act was to 
place one of his beautiful as¬ 
sistants into a heavy cloth bag, 
put her into a huge brass trunk, 
and after securely tying it with' 
heavy cord to get into it himself 
in place of the girl in just three 
seconds. 

Everybody was sorry when at 
last at ten thirty the perform¬ 
ance ended. The troup put on 
another show immediately after 
for the people waiting for seats. 


Anniversary Mass 


Last Wednesday morning the 
Student body and Faculty at¬ 
tended a Solemn High Mass of 
requiem for the late Bishop Leo 
Fahey in the church of Our 
Lady of the Gulf. 

The Brothers of the Sacred 
Heart sang the Mass with Prof. 
Jos. Hammersbach at the or¬ 
gan. 

The officers of the Mass were: 
The celebrant Rt. Rev. Mon¬ 
signor A. J. Gmelch; Deacon, 
Father Schermeser; Sub-deacon, 
Father Grant; Master of Cere_ 
I monies, Father Bryan. ... 


The program offered was from 
the classical to the novelty with 
many of the more popular airs 
thrown in for good measure. 
The band started off with the 
snappy and smart “Strike Up 
The Band.” Captivating a mel¬ 
ancholy mood was “Eulogy” by 
Joseph Wagner. As added at¬ 
traction Jim Williams gave a 
terrific exhibition of talent on 
the bass horn in the playing of 
“Barbarsia.” 

“Happy Farmer Joins the 
Navy” gave the draft-bill boys 
a chilling thought. “The Glass 
Slipper” by Paul Yoder is the 
band’s required number for the 
State Band contest. For our 
money they already qualify for 
the best rating in Jackson. 

Bro. Romuald, Larry Scharff, 
with the assistance of Bob Cas¬ 
tillo along with the band work¬ 
ed havoc with the fifth num¬ 
ber, Leo Vitello’s “Concerto in 
Bb for Clarinet.” It w)as a riot 
of bugles and machine-gun like 
echoes that fairly made the 
nerves jump and tingle. 

Sixth on the program was A1 
Hayes’ arrangement of Than- 
hauser” arias from the operas. 
“Alkahest” a Sax- quartet was 
rendered by Paul Hurley, Louis 
Lucas, Bruce Favre, and Henry 
Capdepon. 

In the seventh part of the 
program, “There’s Something 
About a Soldier” portrayed the 
day in the life of a soldier 
from revielle to taps—arranged 
in the form of a descriptive pa¬ 
trol. 

Next weekend, April 12-13 the 
band will wend its way to Jack- 
son to compete in the State Band 
Contest. Here’s wishing all top 
honors for the band in the an¬ 
nual contest. 

Auxiliary Plans T-Time 
Jubilee To Raise Funds 
For Uniforms 

The Stanislaus band auxiliary at 
their last meeting planned a T- 
Time Jubilee in order to raise 
funds for the purchase of new uni¬ 
forms for the school band. 

Mr. Henry Dupre of Radio Sta¬ 
tion WWL has promised, if busi¬ 
ness does not interfere, to act as 
Master of Ceremonies for the oc¬ 
casion to take over the part of 
Auctioneer for all objects to be 
auctioned. 

Tentative date for the party has 
been set for April 22nd. Tickets 
for the show may be had from any 
of the band boys or from Brother 
Romuald, Band Director. Also 
from Mrs. Joseph Kern at the 5 
and 10; Mrs. Mildred Treutel, and 
Mrs. Anthony Benigno.

State Contest 
Slated For Thurs. 


The Concert and sightseeing 
contest for bands will take place 
on the Millsaps College Cam¬ 
pus Thursday evening. Saint 
Stanislaus is slated to appear at 
3 p. m. The boys forty-four 
strong, will leave the campus 
here at six o’clock in the morn¬ 
ing by Chartered Bus. 

The marching contest will 
take place at the Jackson High 
School football stadium, other¬ 
wise known as “Tiger Stadium.” 
The Rockachaws will be on re¬ 
view sometime that evening for 
the marching contest. 

While in Jackson, the boys 
will make the Robert E. Lee 
hotel their headquarters. They 
are expected to return Friday 
afternoon. 

Although the Stanislaus band 
does not carry the talent of 
previous years, yet much is ex¬ 
pected of it in the contest to 
be held next weekend. The 
boys have been faithful and 
persevering in practice and 
from all appearances have 
come a long way from those 
boys who began their band ca¬ 
reers last September. Hence, 
even though Stanislaus has been 
put up another bracket in the 
State classification, nevertheless, 
they will bring home the re¬ 
wards as usual. 

The contest for all State 
bands opens Monday, April 9 
and closes Saturday the 14th. 
Seventy-four bands will partici¬ 
pate this year. Twenty-eight 
of these are in the same clas¬ 
sification as St. Stanislaus, Class 
CC. 


JUNIORS PLAN 
EARLY PROM 


The Juniors of Stanislaus are 
busy preparing for the annual 
Junior-Senior prom which is to 
take place May 4th. 

All doors to the gym have been 
barred these many days since 
Easter. The theme of the Prom is 
a deep secret and known only to 
the committee in charge of ar¬ 
rangements. They promise to put 
on a program as great as any pre¬ 
vious Class. The dance is a semi- 
formal affair which will begin at 
eight and close at midnight as is 
customary at Stanislaus. 

The A1 Ballanca orchestra has 
been engaged for the occasion. 
This band is heard frequently on 
Radio station WWL, New Orleans, 
and has also played on the Biloxi 
Radio Station, and enjoyed a long 
run at the Monteleone Hotel Cock¬ 
tail Lounge for some time. 

Owing to the large class of 
Seniors and Juniors this year - 
over a hundred combined, invita¬ 
tions are reserved to the dates of 
the students and their parents. 
Hence, alumni and other students 
will not be able to attend as in 
preceding years. 


Variety Show Enters 
Final Rehearsals Now 


The S. S. C. Variety Show will 
have a rehearsal next Tuesday 
in preparation for its presenta¬ 
tion of Old Time Vaudeville and 
Nickelodeon Day. 

The date set for the show is 
Thursday, April 9, at 8:00 p. m. 
in the St. Joseph gymnasium. 

Feature^ in the show will be 
some old time movie slides and 
selected shorts of the Gay Nine¬ 
ty Days plus a blood-curdling fea¬ 
ture showing to advantage the 
stars of the early 1900’s. 

On the stage a variety o 1 acts 
concerned with dancing, singing, 
comedy, and magic feats will be 
presented. 

Some of the dances to be seen 
will be an Irish Jig, the beautiful 
step of the old Waltz and some 
hectic movements of the “Clap 
Dance” and the Tango from old 
Spain. Also featured will be a 
group of pupils from the fourth 
grade in a Minstrel Dance. 

Some of the singers will be 
Scott Assenheimer and Jeannette 
Dodriguez. Rounding off the 
program will be a super thriller 
titled “The Gorilla.” 


Confraternity Plans 
Monthly Activities 


Today the Confraternity will 
meet in the chapel for a spiritual 
meeting on the First Friday of 
April. The Little Office of the 
Sacred Heart will be recited and 
the act of Reparation. 

This month devotion to the Sac¬ 
red Heart will be explained at all 
meetings. Altho this is not the 
particular month assigned to this 
devotion, the sodalists are so 
choosing this time as all schools 
are closed during the month of 
June especially designated as ded¬ 
icated to the spread of the devo¬ 
tion of the Sacred Heart. 

The League of the Sacred Heart 
will receive special mention, and 
all boys whose names are not in¬ 
scribed upon the books will be in¬ 
duced to do so, and will be asked 
to join one of the degrees. Cards 
with the Promises of the Sacred 
Heart to St. Margaret Mary will 
be distributed to those interested. 
All will be asked to join the Apos- 
tleship of Prayer which simply re¬ 
quires the recitation of the Morn¬ 
ing Offering, and a remembrance 
of the Intention of the month. This 
practice can easily be maintained 
after leaving school and keeping 
up with the particular intention 
of the month as almost all parish 
churches today have it posted in 
the rear of the church. 

The annual picnic date for the 
sodality members has not yet been 
decided upon but will be early in 
May. The place has also been held 
in abeyance until several places 
have been scouted. 


GREAT TOURIST 
VISITS CAMPUS 


ALUMNI NOTES 


( 


Paul Bunyon and his famous 
Blue Ox will visit the campus 
of Saint Stanislaus next Tues¬ 
day morning. He has written 
us that his special car will be 
attached to the Pan American 
arrving here at 6:46 a. m., but 
owing to his habit of indulging 
in a prodigious breakfast every 
morning he will be unable to 
reach the campus before eight 
8 o’clock. 

Paul has heard of our dilemna 
concerning a third tennis court. 
He has promised to help us squash 
handball alleys a bit to allow for 
another court. In order not to 
interfere with pre-school hand¬ 
ball games, this work will not 
be accomplished until after the 
bell rings at 8:35. 

Prior to the bell Paul and his 
Blue Ox will occupy a tent near 
the center of the campus. All 
those who wish to grasp the bi¬ 
ceps of Paul may do so for the 
penalty sum of seventy-five 
cents. This applies only to boys 
sixteen or over. Under sixteen, 
the charge will be only two bits. 
For the girls, all sixteen or over 
will pay seventy-five cents; those 
under sixteen will be free. 

All who wish to be cured of 
spavin knee, arthritis, toothache, 
loss of hair, tightening of the 
muscles, neuritis, mumps, and 
in fact any ailment that distress¬ 
es the human system have 
merely to rub the head of the 
Blue Ox between the horns. For 
this an additional charge will be 
made. Those under sixteen will 
be admitted free. Please don’t 
forget the date: Tuesday, April 
10th and the time, promptly at 
8 a. m. Don’t forget the place, 
the Stanislaus Campus. 

The foregoing may be believed 
or not. The Author lays no 
claim to be any relation to Ba¬ 
ron Munchausen nor is he any 
friend to the late deceased. 
Further he claims to be no 
charter member of the Ananias 
club. This is all unadultered 
Americanese. 


BITS OF THINGS 


The fish pond in the rear of 
the Infirmary is beginning to 
take on shape. Brother Basil 
with the help of a couple of 
other men has dug out around 
the old well and is now getting 
bricks ready to lay the foun¬ 
dation. If the rains will hold 
off for a few weeks we’ll soon 
have the Gold fish swimming 
around. 

* * * 


It’s an old saying that you 
can’t keep a good man down. 
When Brother' Aurelian was in¬ 
capacitated last year with a 
broken leg which forced him to 
discontinue his work in the 
vegetable garden, he started a 
small bed of vegetables imme¬ 
diately in back of his house. He 
now has radishes, lettuce, on¬ 
ions, a few rows of strawber¬ 
ries and other eatables all grow¬ 
ing where before there was

A moocher according to 
Webster’s unabridged dictionary 
is a vagrant, a tramp, a pan¬ 
handler. Everyone is familiar 
with all the above definitions. 
Here at Stanislaus he is usual¬ 
ly found on the gallery as 
soon as a class is dismissed. 
His usual salutation is, “Gim¬ 
me a cigarette, willyu?” Then 
the next sentence is, “Got a 
match, pal).’:* Do\Vn a little 
further on the gallery he stops 
near the canteen. If a thirsty 
soul happens to stick a coin 
into the Coca Cola machine, our 
moocher is ready with, “hey, 
fellow got another nickel to 
spare.” Does he get all these 
requests fulfilled? He certain¬ 
ly does simply because he has 
a flow of sarcasm, vituperation, 
and various scatching remarks 
about being Scotch, stingy or 
even miserly. An asbestos med¬ 
al is going to be rewarded the 
moocher any time he is seen

THE ROCK-A-CHAW 



ORTLICHT... 


By ROGER MANFRE 


u/l The baseball squad was happily disappointed the Sunday before 
faster - McGill could not show up for a game because of wet grounds 
gnwyay, the Rocks had just gotten their spikes out two days before. 
Yellow jackets will make their postponed visit this Sunday after- 
ioon, and at Morreale Park, the Rockachaws will try to put on a bet- 
)u ~ game than would have been given a couple of weeks ago. 

Bill Huvar and Don Mathis did a splendid job against Long Beach, 
exas Bill struck out the first twelve of the fourteen men who faced 
‘lriim and after four innings had given only one hit. Don who succeeded 
im on the mound was just as stingy with bingles. The visitors also 

it one measly single from him. 

❖ ❖ * 

hyi Coach Power’s track team really showed their wares against 
atholic High despite the fact that they came out on the short end 
Sthe score 61 to 47 . . . Fernando Betanzos made a great run in the 
i lindred hitting the clock at 10.2. The State record is 9.9 for the 
atistance. It has been said the record has also been equaled by Baylot 

f Vicksburg and Duplane of Gulfport High. 

* * * 

la I Correction: Last issue we stated that the Tennis team had fallen 
sorlctims to Pass Christian High. No games had been played. To date, 
tanislaus has won all matches; Gulfport High was downed 4 to 1; 
> a ss Christian High 7 to 0. Sunday, the McGill netters will try to 
‘Wreak the winning streak of the Rocks on the Stanislaus courts. Hear 
erlso that Pensacola High will be here Saturday afternoon for at least 
rhceven matches. * * * 

‘REDICTIONS ... ^ . 

A Pro baseball is now getting underway and the topic of the day is, 
lhWho is going to come out on top this year?’ . ’ . .Many sports writers, 
taanagers and box office patrons are beginning to give their impres¬ 
sion of how things stand . . . With the aid of some of these “prophets” 
I’D w iU atempt to make my speculation. 

,ih In the National League many think that the Phillies will go down 
I third place but I class them first as they are a young and spirited 
all club . . . Next will be the Giants and then the Dodgers in third 
l’lace. 

fol In the American League I pick the New York Yankees followed 
mclosely by the Red Sox with the Tigers holding third place.

ROCKS DOWN 
LONG BEACH 

The Rockachaw baseball team 
got off to a good start in down¬ 
ing Long Beach at Morreale 
Park last Wednesday 7 to 4. 

The Stanislaus boys garner¬ 
ed nine hits to the vistors 2. 
A few charity walks along with 
a few costly bungles gave the 
Long Beach the unearned runs. 

The Rocks got three hits and 
put across three runs in the 
first frame and sewed up the 
game in the fifth inning with 
four runs on three hits and an 
error. 

Bill Huvar pitched the first 
five innings giving up one hit 
and 3 walks. Don Mathies re¬ 
placed him. Don gave the vis¬ 
itors one hit and two charity 
passes. 

The Rockachaws did not look 
too strong this year with the 
willow, but this may have been i 
due to outside competition and 
too many looking on for the 
first time. 

Next Wednesday, the Rock¬ 
achaws play host to the Gulf- 
coast Military Academy boys. 
They usually have a fine team, 
and the 1951 addition can hard¬ 
ly be any better than last sea¬ 
son when they won the Gulf- 
coast championship. 

Sunday afternoon, the McGill 
boys from Mobile will take on 
the Rockachaw team at Mor_ 
leale Park beginning at 2 p. 
m. 

SSC Tennis Team 
Romps Over Pass 

The Rockachaws opened the 
tennis season last Week with 
two victories on the home court. 
In the first encounter with 
Gtutfport the visitors were, 
downed 4 to 1. 

Last Saturday, the Pass 
Christian High boys were down¬ 
ed 7 to 0. Joe Clark won from 
Don Manuel (6-0) (6-0); Mike 

Gasteazoro took Gordon Scoper 
over the hurdles (8-6 (6-4); 

Richafrd Kemmerly had a bit 
of trouble with Leroy Lizana in 
winning (6-3) (3-6) (6-4); Es- 

torge Sibille had very little 
trouble with Monte Wateman 
(6-00 (6-3). Ernest Manzon 

won from Gordon Parker (6-1) 
(1-6) and (6-3). 

In the doubles, Joe Clark and 
Mike Gasteazoro played and 
won from Gordon Scoper and 
Don Manuel (6-2) (6-2). Es_ 

torge Sibille and Richard Kem. 
merly won from Bob Waltman 
and Gordon Parker (6-2) (6-3). 

In :the , Gulfport sefries, Joe 
CJark Won from Mitchell Sal- 
loum. Wallace Papadopolo took 
over Glenn Bufkin; Estorge Si¬ 
bille won from Jack Thompson 
and Richard Kemmerly wpn 
from Robert Van Aller. 

The Rockachaws dropped the 
doubles set to Mitchell and Buf¬ 
kin (4-6) (0-6). The Stanis¬ 
laus double team was composed 
of Papadopolo and Manzon. 

The next match will be with 
McGill next Sunday morning 
on the Stanislaus courts be¬ 
ginning about 10:30 a. m. 


Library Receives 
A New Addition 

In the past month, more than 
fifty new titles have been ad¬ 
ded to the collection of books 
in the Stanislaus Library. This 
brings the number of volumes 
on the shelves to nearly six 
thousand. The range of topics 
in the new additions is various. 
Sport stories, historical novels, 
music, magic, biography, poetry 
and just plain fiction are all 
well represented. 

According to the demand the 
most popular additions are those 
books written b$ Commander 
Edward Ellsberg. This author 
a veteran of nearly forty years 
experience in the Navy is cer¬ 
tainly Well qualified to write 
the type of book that he pre¬ 
sents. Although most of the 
works are on the non-fiction 
level, they are so well written 
and interesting that they prove 
the old saying^ that truth is 
stranger than fiction. Even 
when writing fiction, there is 
a ring of sincerity and truth in 
what he writes because even his 
stories are based on personal 
experiences. 

Perhaps the most thrilling of 
his non-fiqtin works are i“No 
Banners, No Bugles” and “Un-

that this tribe is the main one

Around The Campus 

By JOE CLARK 


No more is heard that famil¬ 
iar cry of, O boy, do I have 
an ear ache,” only to learn by 
clinical examination that it was 
nothing but the mumps. Heard 
the sickness has recently invad¬ 
ed the campus of Ole Miss, 
well, we thought we were sort 
of old to be down with it— 
thanks old timers for taking it 
away from Stanislaus.

Some one drifting into the 
Physics Lab last week might 
have thought that some of the 
students were wacky. Some had 
arms pointing East or West; 
others were locating right an¬ 
gles with their elbows held in 
that position,. Discovered they 
were trying to demonstrate 
Ampere’s and Fleming’s rules. 
They were trying to locate the 
magnetic fields. In other words, 
certain fingers of the right 
hand When held at right an¬ 
gles to one another point to 
the motion, magnetic field, cur¬ 
rent, or lines of force. Was 
glad to realize I had not ac¬ 
cidentally dropped into the 
Bubby hatch by mistake. Every 
one was entirely sane ? at least 
as far as an amateur could 
make out. 

* * * 

Some seniors are also having 
trouble with the laws that state 
“opposite poles attract and like 
poles repell.” If this be true 
then the North needle of the 
compass does not point to the 
North Pole but to the South 
Pole, and vice versa, the South 
Pole points to the North Pole, 
or where are we any way. I 
would be therefore traveling 
South when the needle points 
North and North when the 
needle points South, and still 
I Wiould be knowing very well 
that if I am in Baton Rouge 

and wanted to get to New Or¬ 
leans, I know darn well I 
wouldn’t be fooled in going to¬ 
wards Lake ^Charles;, Natchez, 
or Meridian . . . even if I did 
I would get to New Orleans 
eventually, that is if they 
haven’t changed the old teach¬ 
ing that the world is round. 
Haven’t heard anything from 
Russia lately on the subject.

Be careful about those class 
room yawns that you stifle at 
timej. Just recently a young 
man attending school in Phil¬ 
adelphia was so, so tired, (must 
have had heavy date the night 
before), anyway, he gave a 
healthy yawn. Low and behold 

he could not close his mouth. At 
the hospital it was discovered 
that he had dislocated his jaw.

Brother Alexis, S. C., presi¬ 
dent of St. Stanislaus College, 
was elected President of the Sec¬ 
ondary School Department of the 
National Catholic Educational As¬ 
sociation at the end of its annual 
convention last week in Cleve¬ 
land, Ohio. 

Membership on the General 
Executive Board of the Associa¬ 
tion and the responsibility of 
preparing the program of the 
Secondary School Department 
in its annual convention are re¬ 
sponsibilities of the office. 

Brother Alexis, who has been 
associated with the N. C. E. A. 
since 1936, has risen from the 
ranks to his present position. 



This is an organization which 
co-ordinates the work of Cath¬ 
olic education throughout the 
United States. It has five mam 
divisions: the Department of 
Major Seminaries; the Depart¬ 
ment of Minor Seminaries; the 
Department of Colleges and 
Universities; the Secondary 
School Department; and the Ele¬ 
mentary School Department. The 
Secondary School Department is 
concerned with the 2119 second¬ 
ary schools in the nation. 

At this convention, Rev. Lau¬ 
rence M. O’Neill, S. J., president 
of Jesuit High School, New Or- 
laens was elected secretary of 
the department.

were surprised to see the walls 
newly painted and the wood 
work a shine with a brand new 
coat of varnish. Our class is

A great bunch of boys have 
been helping Brother Ephrem

Parker Maurie, one of the

Eighth Graders are taking 
wholeheartedly to the idea of 
the Sacred Heart devotion dur¬

attendance has grown, and many 
take advantage of the invitation 
to receive Our Lord in the Holy

(By Gerald Shields) 


Miguel Muyshondt a native 
Belgian who speaks Spanish and 
hails from San Salvador gave the 
boys in the Senior Study Hall a 
real treat last. Tuesday evening 
with several Spanish and Amer¬ 
ican selections on his guitar.

Seniors Hear Talk 
From College Men 

(By Gerald Shields) 

Rev. W. Patrick Donnelly, S. 
J,. President of Springhill Col¬ 
lege, Mobile, and Rev. Brothef 
Kieran, C. S. C., of St. Edwardb 
University, Austin, Texas, wer4 
recent visitors to Saint Stanisf 
laus. Both men talked of thei!* 
respective schools with the object 
of enlightening the Seniors of 
what Catholic Colleges have to 
offer the prospective College stu¬ 
dents. 

Father Donnelly spoke of a new 
sound color film describing 
Springhill which will soon be re¬ 
leased. The film is divided into 
five sections: Classroom scenes, 
Religious life of students on the 
campus, buildings and grounds, 
Athletic activities and the R. O. 
H. C. Battalion. 

Bill Lavender, staff photogra¬ 
pher of the Press-Register is do¬ 
ing the photography work in true 
professional style, while Father 
Larguier, faculty member, has 
been working on a brochure de¬ 
scribing the activities of the R. 
O. T. C. Battalion on Military 
Transportation both pn the field 
and in Class. 

Father Donelly expected to 
have this brochure and film, here 
sometime before the end of April 
to give the Stanislaus Seniors an 
opportunity of gauging for them¬ 
selves the story of Springhill Col¬ 
lege. It will be a fine opportu¬ 
nity for those Seniors who have 
not as yet expressed an idea of 
what they wish to study next 
year, or to what school they wish 
to matriculate. 

Brother Kieran spoke of one 
of the youngest colleges in Texas. 
He belongs to the same order that 
conducts Notre Dame University 
St. Edwards offers Business Ad¬ 
ministration, Law, Pre-Medical 
Pre Engineering, Pre-Dental, and 
the Arts and Sciences. 


S S C Band Wins BAND AUXILIARY WINS GREAT 
Honors In Jackson HAND WITH T-TIME JUBILEE SHOW 


(By Gerald Shields) 


man winner told every one that 


Brother Romuald, Director of 
the St. Stanislaus Band, upon his 
return from Jackson Friday, stat¬ 
ed, “I am well pleased with the 
showing the band made in its 
entrees in the State Contest. Con¬ 
sidering that one-third of the 
members of this year’s band are 
newcomers, the winning of five 
Superiors is an achievement which 
the students of the band and the 

school should be proud of.” Su¬ 
perior is the highest rating that 
can be awarded to a contestant. 
It represents an average of 95 - 
100 per cent. 

COVETED AWARD 

The award most coveted by band 
directors is a Superior in Concert 
Contest because it is the judges 
expression that this band has 
demonstrated the best conceivable 
performance for the class of parti¬ 
cipants being judged; that it is a 
fine performing musical organiza¬ 
tion: and it is worthy of the dis¬ 
tinction of being recognized as a 
“first place winner”. This is the 
reason why the St. Stanislaus 
Band is proud of the fine show¬ 
ing it made in Concert Competi¬ 
tion. It was with this objective in 
mind that the members of the 
Band worked hard the whole year 
to develop fine musieship. 

Following is a complete listing 
of the ratings received. 

SUPERIOR:- Concert Band:- 
Sax Solo, Paul Hurley; Sax Solo, 
Louis Lucas; Clarinet Trio, Larry 
Scharff, Gerald Gex, John Uhl; 
Sax Quartet, Paul Hurley, Louis 
Lucas, Bruce Favre, Henry Cap- 
depon. 

EXCELLENT:- Marching Ma¬ 
neuvers; Signal Drum Major, 
Henry Capdepon; Bass Solo, 
James Wililams. 

GOOD:- Sightreading; Cornet 
Trio, Sal D’Angelo, Gerald Kim¬ 
ble, David Treutel; Cornet Solo, 
Gerald Kimble. 


The Tea Time Jubilee show 
sponsored by the Saint Stanislaus 
Band Auxiliary last Sunday made 
a decided hit with every one. It 
was a take-off on one of the 
popular radio shows where the 
audience takes part in all the 
laughs and they in turn benefit 
by the gifts. 

The object of the perfomance 
was to help raise funds for the 
purchase of new uniforms that 
have already been contracted for 
with the J. H. Bonck Company of 
New Orleans, makers of the fa¬ 
mous Tulane Shirts. J. H. Jr., is 
an alumnus of Saint Stanislaus. 

The Stanislaus band started the 
proceedings with “Strike Up The 
Band” followed by a trio of tap 
dancing to the tune of “Twelfth 
Street Rag.” 

Little Mary Lucas of St. Joseph 
Academy started off the awards 
by winning a pen and pencil set 
for the best Bubble Gum blower. 
Stan Rosenblath, Toni Stimmel 
and Liston Garde bled were a- 
warded each a box of “Love Lace” 
writing stationery for their keen 
perception and distinction of Cig¬ 
arettes ii a blind lot dec contest. 

In a couple contest, Ronald 
Gross and Miss Karen Kergosien 
were given pen and pencil sets for 
the pop-corn eating contest. Other 
winners were: Roland Hewick, a 
radio. Stan Rosenblath, a coffee 
percolator, and John Foto, a fifth 
of whiskey. The other prizes went 
to adults who were too bashful to 
give their names as they stepped 
from the stage. 

Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Mauffray 
were the oldest couple present. 
They have been married over 
fifty years. Mrs. Mauffray was 
given a beautiful orchid. 

One man won a “free divorce”, 
that is a lawyer will give his 
time free to this winner, and when 
it may be required. The gentle- 


he might hold it for a while just 
to see what will happen. 

To the Commtitee who worked 
so hard and perseveringly for this 
performance, the Staff and the 
members of the band offer sin¬ 
cere thanks. Orchids go to the good 
ladies who devoted so much time 
for this benefit, Mrs. Joseph 
Scharff, Mrs. Anthony Benigno, 
Mrs. P. J. Treutel, Mrs. Lucien 
Gex, Mrs. Joseph Kern, Mrs. E, 
J. Arceneaux and Mrs. Frank 
Kiefer, who were the big guns 
behind the scenes. The officers 
of the Auxiliary are: Mrs. An¬ 
thony Benigno, President; Mrs. 
Lucien Gex, Vice President; Mrs. 
Joseph Kern, Secretary ; and Mrs. 
Joseph Scharff, Treasurer.

Heart Scholasticate at Springhill. 
This is the house of Studies for the

Day 


Mother’s Day is a distinctively American custom, that 
is in setting aside one particular day of the year to honor 
MOTHJER. She is in mind every day of the year, and 
many times a day for where is the boy or the girl who does 
not bather “Mom” for this or that or the other thing. Many 
many times the particular article we seek is right under 
our nose, but no one seems to notice where we dropped it, 
except Ma. . < ; i jj[ 


Letters To Editor 


Joe Clark 
Feature Editor 
THE ROCK-A-CHAW 
Dear Joe: 


Unfortunately, Mother’s Day has fallen into the hands 
of too many people who wish to profit by the sentiments 
we feel for Mother—the caterer, the florist, and every de¬ 
partment store, big and little display all the feminine 
trinkets so eye catching to the gullible male. 


For Students, that’s us, let us forget the commercial 
side of Mother s Day because whatever we might purchase 
would not be through any hard earned cash of our owP—it 
very probably will be from Dad, or even Mom that was 
wheedled out of her for a trumped up “special reason.” 


If you wish to buy her something, that is fine, but 
let the money come from your allowance—and don’t ask 
for a replenishment before it is due . . . the Catholic way 
to celebrate this day would be to send Mother a Spiritual 
Bouquet, and make it strong in every way, don’t be count¬ 
ed a sissy when it comes to prayer.—Jack Moore. 


May First Mary's Day 


Most of our daily papers will be writing up the do¬ 
ings of May Day which to most peple is associated with the 
idea of the activities of the Reds. 


To Catholic Students May first should be as it was 
in past history Mary's Day. In years bygone when the 
poets saw this date arrive all their thoughts had reference 
to the Crowning of Mary. It was truly an homage paid 
to the Mother of God. England was called Mary’s Bower. 


We must get back to our homage and prayers to the 
Blessed Mother. Today more than ever we stand in need 
of her help with her Divine Son. The most natural thing 
is to pray for our own special needs and those of the fam¬ 
ily. We are asked too, by our Most Reverend Bishop to 
pray for vocations. In fact he has asked that the first 
week of May be set aside for this particular intention. 


Father Kellar of THE CHRISTOPHERS has given us 
plenty of food for thought that our intentions all this month 
of May be directed for the conversion of Russia. He cites 
some figures that may prove interesting as to why prayers 
for Russia should be said. 


During the past tweh$e months, Communism has com¬ 
pleted the enslavement of all China. One quarter of the 
total population of the word. To date there have been 
over 225,000 casualities in Korea. Can it be that we are 
not praying enough, as Our Lady requested, 

For the sake of the many, many people under the tyran¬ 
ny of Russian Communism, and for world peace, we must 
storm heaven and ask our Lady to help us. It is nat only 
necessary to pray, some sacrifices must also be made to 
insure an answjer to our prayers. Let’s make a real crusade 
during the month of Mary for all these intentions. 


McGill 6 ; S. S. C. 4 


In the first game of the sea¬ 
son t McGill of Mtobile nosed out 
the Rockachaws 6 to 4 by taking 
advantage of the five scattered 
hits and good base running. 

One of the features of the game 
was Don Luc’s long hit to the 
center field wall. It was the ‘ 


longest hit ever to be made at 
Morreale Park and would have 
been counted an easy home run, 
but Don did a Merkle by failing 
to touch third base. 

The batteries for the Rocks 
were Huvar, Burns and Heitz- 
mann, for the Jackets, Manders 
and Dickerson. 


I am most sorry to have disap¬ 
pointed you on the 10th of April. 
After my delay on the 1st of the 
month, All Fools Day, I certainly 
had every intention in the world 
to visit Bay St. Louis and the 
campus of Saint Stanislaus to re¬ 
lieve you of the dilemma regard¬ 
ing that handball wall. You recall 
that I intended to move it over to 
allow the Brothers to make an¬ 
other tennis court. 


On the 9th of this month you 
may have remembered that the 
Chinese Reds were planning to 
open the flood gates of the Hwy- 
chon Reservoir. If this water had 
been allowed full sway, our Ma¬ 
rines and GI’s would have been 
swept away by the rushing waters 


The evening of the 9th I receiv¬ 
ed an SOS from General Ridgway 
to bring along Babe and see what 
could be done. I rode one of these 
new jets. Before I could take a 
couple of good breaths, there I 
was zooming over the Chinese Sea 
and bingo we were in Korea. I 
can’t tell you the speed of this 
Jet because of security reasons, 
Babe was a bit too large for the 
jet, but she was along the next 
day. A friend of mine arranged to 
get her aboard one of these slow 
moving Bombers that hits the air 
waves about five hundred miles 
per hour. 


Well, I guess I can tell you now 
what really happened to puzzle 
those Chinks. Babe and I looked 
over the situation with General 
Ridgway, and an idea came into 
my mind as soon as I saw the 
trouble. It was just like another 
puzzle that hit us years ago out 
in Oregon. It resolved itself into 
twisting the valley around to meet 
the Yalu River. 


The following morning Babe and 
I went for a close up. Machine 
guns were chattering and mortars 
were zooming all around Us. It 
was no place for a picnic, you can 
bet your leather boots on that. 
Well, we waited for things to quiet 
down, but apparently the Chinks 
must have had some counter intel¬ 
ligence working because we just 
could not do a thing but squat in 
a fox hole and chew our finger 
nails, and hope to heaven that the 
Reds could not see us, or even 
take a wild shot in our direction. 
Never heard so much shooting in 
my life. Sounded like all the 
Fourth of Julys I have ever cele¬ 
brated. 


The very day I was supposed to 
be on your campus there was a 
lull in the firing. By that I mean 
instead of seventy-five machine 
guns flinging death around, I could 
count only seventy. So, I hitched 
up Babe to the yoke and poked 
down the valley. Had a little dif¬ 
ficulty getting a good hitch on 
the lower rung of the gulch, but 
after a few well placed cusses I 
finally got it caught. Then, I gee 
hawed to Babe, but she wouldn’t 
mo\e. Just about that time several 
hundred Chinks started a hur¬ 
rahing over on their side which 
had more effect on Babe than all 
my coddling and sweating. Babe 
pulled the vahey around to meet 
the Yalu river and a well placed 
loa dof TNT did the rest. All 
the doggone water the Reds 
thought would drown the Yanks 
simply joined the rest of the 
muddy waters of the Yalu to the 
sea. Babe and I felt darn good 
when we completed that job. The 
GI’s gave us such a rousing wel¬ 
come when we returned to the 
UN line I was almost sqeezed to 
death.

Hats off to the representatives of Stanislaus in the District Tra( ? | 
and Field events due at Brookhaven today. Will tell you all abo* 
the meet in our last appearance in these columns next publication. 


Don Roberto del Castillio laid the willow on one of the offerin 
of the Long Beach flinger last week and knocked it into the bushes 
the far end of the Morreale Park. Bob added two more hits during h 
stint in the game and stole three bases, while knocking in four of tl 
eight runs scored by the Rock-A-Chaws - not a bad day’s work { 
a little man! -

Been suffering a terrible itch lately. A sort of feeling of gettif 
somewhere else. Took a bit of time to analyze the cause of this uj 
usual predicament and came to the conclusion that the only cure aval/ 
able would be a nice dive into the Bay from the end of the pier. Tl 
water looks so inviting - from a distance. On closer inspection one vT;/ 
notice plenty of old Man Mississippi’s muddy water. If the rains 
hold off for a few days every one should be out sporting those r 
bathing trunks that Brother Loyola has on sale. If you haven’t se* 
’em yet, better take an eyeful before they are all gone - right now 1^ 
has a special price for first comers.

DON LUC MAKES 
HALL OF FAME 

r (By Roger Manfre) 

e - 

k Last weekend a converted first 
jaseman turned pitcher and gave 
3i;he best performance of any of 
Sc ;he Roackachaw flingers to date. 
For seven innings not one Long 
^Beach player saw second base. 
Vour of the visitors saw the ini¬ 
tial sack via of bases on balls, 
Knd one held the bag for a few 
minutes because of an error. 

J | Don struck out sixteen of the 
e;wenty-two men who faced him. 
In the meantime, his teammates 
aiwere gathering in eight runs on 
tbeven hits . Don Roberto Castillio 
pjarnered three of these hits and 
scored four runs, and was in¬ 
strumental in knocking two of his 
teammates across home plate. He 



Mlso stole three bases to add to 
iis laurels for the day.

Biloxi 11; S.S.C. 11 


The Biloxi Indians and the 
Rockachaws battled to a 11-11 
nine inning game at Morreale 
Park a week ago. 

The Biloxi Indians were leading 
the Rockachaws going into the 
seventh inning 7 to 3. In this 
inning the Stanislaus team went 
around once in the batting order 
scoring seven runs on eight hits, 
one was a triple by Castillio clean¬ 
ing the bases. 

The visitors came back in the 
upper half of the eighth to knot 
the score with four runs. The 
game was called in the ninth 
because of darkness.

Rocks 4; Cadets 6 


The Rockachaws got off to a 
good start against the Cadets 
Tuesday afternoon on the Cadet 
field scoring one in each of the. 
first two innings aha three in the 
fourth, but allowed the Cadets 
to tie the score in the fourth 
when the Cadet catcher, Tutt 
tripled with two aboard, He lat¬ 
er scored on an over throw to 
the plate. 

Huvar and Burns were on the 
mound for the Rockachaws, they 
allowed the Cadets only one hit, 
but a couple of walks plus five 
costly errors spelled defeat. The 
Rockachaws got four hits from 
the offerings of Davis. 


Moss Point 12; S. S. C. 2 


Stanislaus lost its first game 
under the lights at Moss Point 
last Friday night, 12 to 2. 

Whether the lights affected the 
pitchers in making the home plate 
too bright, or whether the umps 
had need of a pair of spectacles 
during this game. The effects 
on the Stanislaus pitchers must 
have had some cause, Coach 
Thames used a parade of pitch¬ 
ers, and hone seemed effective in 
locating the 'plate, Bill Huvar 
started the game and was sent 
to the showers after giving up 
four bases on balls to the first 
four men; A1 Burns succeeded 1 
Huvar on the mound and was 
almost equally at a loss to keep 
the ball within striking distance. 
Don Mathes and George D’Alta 
also saw service. Twenty-four 
free passes were given the Moss 
Point boys, who by the way were 
able to get only three scattered 
hits. 

The Rockachaws hit for eight, 
but were left stranded on the 
bases. Only two men were able 
to score. 


Around The Campus 

(With Joe Clark) 

Spring, as the poet would say, 
has arrived. I don’t say this 
too assuredly because we have had 
some incications of the vernal ap¬ 
proach on two or three occasions 
only to be scurrying after a 
sweater or a blanket the same 
evening. Any way from present 
indications, we should be enjoy¬ 
ing a dip into the Bay in short 
order. Have sort of envied some 
of the day students who have had 
a great time already in breaking 
“the ice.” 

* * * 

The Seniors were subjected to 
a test about two weeks ago called 
the Kuder Preference Test. Ob¬ 
ject of the questionnaire was to 
discover preference of life work 
for the future. About three hun¬ 
dred questions were asked. Each 
student was required to punch 
a hole in the most prefered and 
another in the least. As the 
numbers were added and a chart 
made on the nine preferences one 
could determine by the highest 
range just what vocation he 
might have to achieve success in 
life. 

* * * 

A new friend has been acquir¬ 
ed by Brother Leo and the ma¬ 
jority of the Senior Study Hall. 
This friend answers to the name 
of “Rag Mop.” Rag Mop is a 
small bundle of fur of undeter¬ 
mined parentage, altho there is 
a predominance of Cocker Span¬ 
iel. He arrived through the good 
graces of Joe Scafidi. Rag Mop 
is seen at all times tagging at the 
heels of Brother Leo, while in 
the study hall he seems to have 
a predilection for Len Bowman’s 
socks and shoe laces. Rag Mop 
has become the most popular ob¬ 
ject on the campus. Altho his 
so-called bark may get him eject¬ 
ed from the study period short¬ 
ly—unless, of course some one 
tells him that nq lqud talking is 
allowed in study hall. 

f * • 

We had often heard about that 
old saying of P. T. Barnum of 
one being born every minute, but 
never realized so many suckers 
could be caught around the cam¬ 
pus of Saint Stanislaus. That 
gag about the visit of Paul Bun- 
yan had me running in circles to 
explain his non-appearance qn 
the day appointed, Well in an^ 
other column qf this paper there 
is a very goqd reason fqr Faults 
being unable tq heep his appoint¬ 
ment and trust that everyone will 
appreciate hi§ willingness to 
oblige the students for a future 
visit, 

* * * 

Congratulations to the decorat¬ 
ing committee at the Academy 
for a job well done for the Se¬ 
nior-Junior Prom. The theme was 
“The Last Time I Saw Paris,” 
The entire gym was laid out in 
a street scene of Gay Paree with 
the cafes, tables, and water foun¬ 
tains lending a real effect. The 
fine music rendered by the or¬ 
chestra put the final touch to a 
most successful evening. Thanks 
girls, for the fine time had by 
all,

Gulfport Wins Rock Netters Bow 
Coast Track Event Twice To McGill 


ROCKS PLACE THREE MEN 
FOR DISTRICT MEET AT 
BROOKHAVEN THIS WEEK 

(By Roger Manfre) 

Much to no one’s surprise the 
Gulfport Commodores took the 
Region Eight track and field meet 
held at Pascgoula’s War Memor¬ 
ial Stacium with 41 ^ points. 

The RockachaWs scored 22^ 
points placing sixth among the 
seven schools that participated in 
the meet. First and second place 
winners will represent this Re¬ 
gion in the District meet to be 
held at Brookhaven, Friday, April 
28. 

John Saravanja took second 
place in the 120-High Hurdles; 
Mike Gasteazoro won second place 
in the 200-Low Hurdles, and 
Teddy Gabb took second in the 
880-yard run. These three will 
wear the Red and Black of Stan¬ 
islaus at the District meet. 

Paul Mizell, sophmore foot¬ 
baller and track man won indi¬ 
vidual honors with 16 y 2 points. 
He won the 440-yqrd dash in 
56.1, took first plaqe in the 220- 
yard dash in 24 seconds, and 
ran a second place in the 880 re¬ 
lay... 

Considering this was the first 
year of real track and field com¬ 
petition for the Rockachaws in 
several yeads, they did very well. 
Prospects for next season look 
bright for an all-around team.

sized Wallace Papadopolo against 
Chipalich and Clinton, the lat¬ 
ter took a match 3-6; 2-6. Kem- 
merly and Sibille were pitted

Activities Planned 
For Mother’s Day 

(By Gerald Shields) 

Sunday, May 13, will be Moth¬ 
er’s Day. All students who are 
in good standing will have the 
weekend at home beginning with 
the close of school Friday, May 11. 
Plans on transportation to New 
Orleans have not as yet been 
started. As soon as the final 
count has been made arrange¬ 
ments will be made either with 
the Greyhound Bus lines or the 
L. & N. R. R. 

There has been some talk of 
having the Humming Bird which 
arrives at 1:57 p. m. to stop for 
the students, but no confirma¬ 
tion has been forthcoming from 
the railroad people. On the last 
two occasions, the Greyhound 
lines have been most accommo¬ 
dating in having the busses drive 
up to the campus to load the 
passengers as well as the bag¬ 
gage.

JCIAL EVENTS 

•The Junior-Senior Prom held 
t weekend was the most col- 
ul social affair held during the 
Etool session. From the time the 
md march was started until the 
||ies of “Home Sweet Home” 

1 g out out at midnight every 
* of the five nundred who at- 
ided had a most glorious time. 
The gym was spectacularly dee¬ 
ded, having as a theme, “Hitch 
ur Wagon to a Star.” The walls 
B re paintec. to represent native 
Jne, and around the dance floor 
s an improvided white picket 
ice. On the outside of the 
ice were tables on which blue 
idles burned, held in star- 
tped candleholders. A profus- 
i of blue balloons and stream- 
Sfloated gracefully throughout 
3 hall. The backdrop was 
inted to represent the sky hav- 
i a wagon with a girl and boy 
ited in it with outstretched arms 
add to the striking effect, 
esh shrubs were placed at Ri¬ 
vals to make it appear a nat¬ 
al garden and the whole effect 
is a panorama of beauty. 

As each student entered with 
; 'date, a spotlight v/as played 
on them and they were intru¬ 
ded by the Band Leader A1 
^llanco. They then marched to 
3 -end of the hall and when all 
?re lined up the band struck 
o the tune for the grand march. 
,.e couples made an interesting 
idy dressed in summer tuxedos 
filmy formal gowns. 

The members of the Sopho- 
■>re Class of Stanislaus acted

to leave school on Friday, May 
25th after the Grammar School 
activities have come to a close. 

All those whose parents will 
arive by automobile will already

The school Reports will be 
mailed out as soon as possible 
during the early part of the 
week of the 28th.

thers of the Sacred Heart will 
open on Sunday evening, June

Some of Class 1951 will enjoy 
almost a week’s vacation from 
books. Several are already sign¬ 
ed up to take part in the accel¬ 
erated programs offered by the

South. While others, four or five, 
will await assignments from Un¬ 
cle Sam.

GOOD WISHES TO CLASS J95J 


Prom was a knock-out. The dec¬ 
orations were superb and many 
of the parents on hand were loud 
in their praise of the fine work 
done by the Juniors who contri¬ 
buted their time and talents. The 
formals of the boys lent a great 
deal of charm to the dance, and 
in no little way added to the at¬ 
tractiveness of the scene. To 
Brother Leo and the boys we 
say, ‘Well done.” 

I received a telegram from 
Paul Bunyan the other day as 
follows: 


We who remain extend our best wishes to Class 1951. 
May your future years be filled with happiness, and may 
all your undertakings be fruitful of good work. 

The world which you face is not a bed of roses, even 
though first appearance may cast a spell of rosiness about 
r*d:r.. you, do not be deceived by the fragrance and variegated col- 
zt-u.' ors that appeal to the senses. You know that to appreciate 
a rose in all its glory it must be plucked from a bush which 
by experience you know has a thorn attached. So too, in 
life you cannot expect to have everything running smooth¬ 
ly at all times, but if you are the man that Stanislaus has 
tried to make of you, therewill be no serious difficulty for 
•; vH you to solve your problems. 

No matter how much time you have spent at Stanislaus, 
whether it has been as little as a year, you are bound to 
) } hsive acquired a different perspective of life, because of 
contact with the Brothers of the Sacred Heart. You 
carry with you a characteristic which will exert an influ¬ 
ence all through life. You have learned the economy of time 
will be of special help to you in your college work where 
you shall have no prefects to announce a study hall. 

When difficulties do arise that seem to have no solu¬ 
tion in the life about you, then it will be that your Catholic 
training will come to the fore. You know the value of 


prayer, you have been taught to pray, and you know that 


God and His Blessed Mother are ever ready to help solve 
any and all difficulties whenever comfort or aid is asked. 

Finally, as you are products of Saint Stanislaus you 
have a responsibility to the school and to the Brothers to 
live always in the light of the lessons taught. You know 
that to take a line of least resistance is the lazy man’s meth¬ 
od eschewing trouble. This does not mean the troubles are 
solved, nor would it indicate that you are a true son of 
Stanislaus. All that you have been taught is based on a 
faith that has great security both in the life and for eter¬ 
nity. Follow them closely that we all shall meet again in 
eternal glory.—Eddie Schofield. 


HAPPY VACATION 


That glorious period of school life is back with us again 
—vacation from all school work. It is a happy thought to 
get away from the grind of nine months work. The time 
has been anticipated for some time, and as the day ap¬ 
proaches all our plans seem to be all jumbled, and it seems 
rather difficult to say what shall be put into effect imme¬ 
diately. Every picture formed in the mind seems to car¬ 
ry its own particular brand of joy. The idea is almost as 
difficult as to which peach to grab from a branch. There 
are so many to choose from—the juciest fruit always seems 
to hahg just out of reach. Let’s hope all the vacation joys 
will be right at hand and may everyone enjoy to the fullest 
. each any every day of all the summer. 

While thinking of this swell period of fun and frolic, 
let us also bear in mind that as students from a Catholic 
School we have duties and obligations. There is no vaca¬ 
tion from Sunday Mass, and if you wish to enjoy a profit¬ 
able and peaceful sumlmer, don’t leave off the school habit 
of frequent communion. The Lord will bless you and bring 
you untold happiness. 

Last but not^ least. Give some time to Mom and Dad 
during the summer. Let them know how much you appre¬ 
ciate what they have been doing for you in the opportunity 
they afford you for a Catholic education. Give them some 
of your evenings. You are young only once.—Eddie Scho¬ 
field. 




Compliments of 

STATE MATTRESS COMPANY 
Gulfport, Miss. 


“As the war situation in Ko¬ 
rea is again turning against us, I 
will be unable to oblige you with 
a visit before the end of school 
or even this summer. You have 
my promise to be on hand to re¬ 
move all troubles with tennis 
court, come September. Good 
Luck, Joe and to all the good 
boys who are to graduate with 
you.” 

Paul Bunyan. 

S.—Babe sends her regards 
and a happy vacation to all. 

Paul. 


There will be wedding bells this month for Gerard Schoen, J| 
Class 1947, who is to marry Miss Aline Crovetto of New Orleans. Ala 
James Logan McConnel, ’41, of Waveland will marry Miss Mary Brooll 
Soule at Christ Church Cathedral, New Orleans on May 24th. Coi| 
gratulations and long life to these happy couples. 


Sorry to hear of the automobile accident to Joe Blache, Class 192| 
Joe and his wife were moved to Methodist hospital, Memphis from f 
scene of the accident at Hernando, Miss. Sincerely hope both are no| 
well on the road to recovery. 


Charles N. Kiefer, 1947, will receive his B. S. from Mississip 
State at the Commencement Exercises, May 26. Sorry we cannot j 
there to shake your hand in congratulations and good wishes, 
close here on the 27th. 


Jimmy Bryan, ’41, was appointed Promotion Sales Manager ] 
Stephens Buick Co. of New Orleans last week. Here’s wishing you f 
best of luck in the world in your new field, Jimmy. 


We have been asked again to serve as a clearing house for eij 
ployment. Thought we had made this clear several months ago. 
have several of Class 1951 who would like to make contacts for poi 
tions as soon after school closes as is possible. If the men of the Alun 
would write me of openings, I would be glad to pass the good wo| 
along to those interested. 


P. 


Congratulations to William “Billy” Fitzpatrick on his being awar| 
ed the Pulitzer Prize for Editorial writing in the Daily State of Ne 
Orleans. Recall that Billy almost had sudden death come upon hi 
when he ran off the gallery one day, just as “Horse” Higgins let 
the 56 lb. weight. An inch or two more and some one else would ha ‘ 
received that Pulitzer Prize. xec

The Gulf Coast Regional of the Alumni are talking over plans

The Prom weekend flew by 
so quickly had a hard time keep¬ 
ing up with the clock. The day 
after the prom, many of us en¬ 
joyed a picnic with parents and 
the girl friends who had come 
over for the Formal. Then the 
May Festival, Saturday night, 
gosh what a time it was to get up 
Sunday morning.

ALUMNI MEETING I98J 


seems like a reality. A news 


scrib says bids will be opened 
June 5th. The bridge will be 
formally opened for public use 
June 30, 1953.

The Feast of the Sacred Heart 
will be celebrated June 8th. While 
we will not be at school, let us 
not forget to pray for the Bro¬ 
thers of the Sacred Heart as we 
go to Mass and receive Holy Com¬ 
munion. This will also be an ex¬ 
cellent opportunity to consecrate 
the family to the Sacred Heart. 


(With Joe Clark) 

The Alumni meeting of November 1981 was called 
order by the President my old classmate, Doctor James 
Holmes, F. C. S., Ph D. Old business and new business wt 
discussed with no definite resolutions being arrived 
Sounded just like one of our old time class meeting;s. 


Beautiful Mother Day cards 
were sent by the majority of 
students this year. We think the 
scroll effect is well worth fram¬ 
ing. It is to be hoped that all 
the promises written on this 
scroll will be fulfilled before 
departing for home. 


The best thing about getting 
out of school these days is the 
anticipation of a dip into the 
cool waters of the Gulf. No time 
is lost getting from the shower 
room to the end of the pier, and 
the last one in is a “rotten egg.” 
What I like about the set-up there 
is no “chawing of beef” when the 
swim is over. I sure hate the 
taste of wet rags. No body has 
even tried the idea on some of the 
cay students who frequent the 
wharf—and this is not trying to 
give an idea, either. 


While the refreshments were being, served, ,1 wander 
about the vast New Gym to renew acquaintances and to m( 
old friends. The first I met was Grant Gearheard wh( 
raucous voice had been heard throughout the discussio 
I learned that Grant now held down a Barker’s job wi 
the biggest circus in the world. The only change in Gra 
was that his hair had become redder; along came A1 Bui 
who is now a Coast fisherman, I may haye been mistakf 
but thought I caught a strong whiff of shrimp as he pa 
ed from my view; ran into John Battalora who is kno' 
throughout the South as a most distinguished surgeon; 1 
Bowman still shooting the Bull, altho he is a real cowitf 31 
of the Wild Pampas; and, there was Big Luke Caruso se 
da banan and the cocoanuts and flashing a diamond stj r 
pin almost as big as a pecan; Bruce Favre owning a stri— 
of horses and affording plenty of competition to Ge 
Schwartz in the big Derby; Hartwell Gex decorated wi 
diamonds and telling us all about his oil wells in Texas a 
the Gulf of Mexico, and seated close by was Jimmy Gilm< 
the Movie Magnate flashing a smile of contentment and 
fluence upon Ben Hille, the owner of a string of Mov 
from New Orleans to Mobile. 


Thanks everyone for your kind¬ 
ness to me this past year. This 
is my last appearance inthis col¬ 
umn, I sincerely hope you found 
it as interesting as I did in writ- 
ting all the chaff. So long, every- 



Don Allen moved towards me still fussy about the ha

he iooks very serious as Chief Justice of Mississippi; J

Last Will And Testament Of Class 1951 ROCKS CLOSE 

WITH TWIN WIN 


TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: 


(By Roger Manfre) 


Tennis was revived this season 
uricer the coaching of Brother 
Canisius. Considering the fact 
that no team had represented 
Saint Stanislaus on the courts in 
several years, the record made 
this year could easily compare 
with the work completed by a 
more veteran team. 


The final results of the diagnosis issued by a consultation of doc¬ 
tors who are never known to fail in their prognostications, the Class 
of 1951 are fored (along those lines) to bequeath our most cherished 
possessions to our nephews, the members of Class 1952. The doctor’s 
report stated that Class of 1951 will be dead, buried and burning by 
the night of May 27 due to the unavoidable; because of malnutrition, 
exposure to heat, and sleepless nights, etc., etc., etc., ad nauseam, you 
understand! 


The Rockachaws closed the 
i^aseoall season wits Pacagoula 
Tuesday on the home grounds 


Compliments of _ 


THE GULF COAST 


Along the Coast, Pass Chris¬ 
tian, G. C. M. A| and Gulf¬ 
port High fell to the Stanislaus 
netters. Newman Jligh' Of New 
Orleans and McGill of Mobile 
both hold double victories over 
the Pmckachaws. The New Or¬ 
leans delegation have been piay- 
ing together for several years 
and are really tops as Ffep play- 


In the individual class, Joe 
Clark leads as Nc 1 Rockachaw 
player with 9 victories and three 
defeats, two of these were at 
the hands of Pete Chiopolich of 
McGill. Wallace Papadopold, the 
pint sized Rochachaw, won 5 and 
lost 2; Richard Kemmerly won 
3 and lost 4; Ernest Manzon won 
2; lost 1; Estorge helc. the No. 2 
spot on the squad with 8 vic¬ 
tories and no defeats; Pat Jeffer¬ 
son won 4; lost none; Mike Gas¬ 
teazoro won 2, lost none# 


We, the Class of 1951 about to leave this sphere, and being in 
full possession of a sound m nd, memory, and understanding, do make 
and publish this our last Will and Testament, hereby revoking and 
making void all former Wills by us at any time, heretofore made. 

To eliminate the expense of an expensive funeral, we leave our 
corpses to the Stanislaus Museum of Unnatural History, there to be 
studied by succeeding classes that they may profit by the errors made 
by us. And, if this is not possible, the remains may be allowed to 
petrify for succeeding generations to marvel and gape upon. 

As to such estate as it has pleased the fates and our own strong 
arms to give us, we do dispose of the same as follows: 

I, Gerald Shields, leave my gift of writing editorials to Jack 
Moore, and may he have most bountiful success in every way. 

I, Joe Clark, leave to Richard Kemmerly the tennis courts, in¬ 
cluding the work, sweat, and blood of keeping them in condition, 
along with the never-ceasing praises of Brother Canisius. 

I, Roger Manfre, most happily and joyfully hand over the candy 
shop with all its bitters and sweets to Willy Grace with hopes he will 
never lose his smile. 


taking both ends of a coub 1 ^ 
Veider 3-2 an^ 4-0. The latter 
was a no hitter pitched by A1 
•.s, nis first of the season. 
Burns struck out seven, an:; 
Wearied one during the five in¬ 
ning game he worked. 


BANANA COMPNY 


2813 Thirteenth Sir; 


G.anilaus coil:cted seven hits in 
each game. Huvar and Castllo 
each tripled; Huvar also collected 
wiki a double scoring two runs 
in the first game. Burns did not 
allow even one man to get to 
recond in his game. 


Gulfport, Miss, 


I, Ronald Gross, leave to Vincent Moseley all my good looks, and 
all the medications, lotions and etc., that have been used to maintain 
that school boy complexion. 


In the Regional 8 Tournament 
Joe Clark won the singles Cham¬ 
pionship by eliminating Gulfcoast 
Military and Gulfport High. In 
the doubles, Kemmerly and Pap- 
adopolo took second place. They 
eliminated Pass Christian high, 
drew a bye in 2nd round, but 
lost in the finals to Salloum and 
Fletcher in the finals. 


I, Manuel Andrade, leave to Eddy Schofield all my extensive j 
knowledge of the English language, as she is spoke, together with my j 
vast vocabulary. j 

I, Tommy Aicklen, leave to the well mgh aged Ben Abshire all ' 
my speed and especially my insight into work. 

I, Stanton Rosenblath leave my Toni Home Permanent to Jerry - 
Rooney with the fond and dearest hope that he may always profit 
by its use. 

I, Lucien Raymond, leave to Estorge Sibille my acumen in solving ; 
problems in Physics, and my specially designed Brooklyn accent with 
i a Distinctive Southern drawl. 

I, Paul “Rabbit” Palermo leave to Jack Cassidy my burrow in 
the right guard slot with the fond hope that you will do better than I 
I did in 1950. 

I, Pat Jefferson, leave to Gerald Lartigue my place in the Chapel 
altho there may need be a bit of squeezing ±cr V erald. 

I, Jimmy Holmes, leave to Gregory Fare my entire treasury, that 
is, if Greg can possibly make discovery of its location and has the will 
to dig. 

I, Arthur Grant Gearheard, leave my supe ’ duper vocal cords to j 
: Godfrey Vincent. Used gently and kindly they are guaranteed to last 
I at least a year. 

I, Chappy Stewart, leave to Bob Wiegand all my bri:ks along 
1 wtih a het'ty s^dse hammer in case the going gets rough or strenuous, j 

I, James Williams, leave to Charley Staehle, my great knowledge 
of history and my photographic memory to be used daily, but c.:n- 
| servatively. 

I, Scotty Assenheimer, leave to Jack Ehlinger my contagiius 
smile and all the nice expressions at my command whereby you may 
make good on any excuse you may have to offer. 

(Signed) This twentieth day of May, one thousand nine hunderi 
and fifty-one.

Don Luc, left-hander of Bay

no hitter against Gulf Coast Mil¬ 
itary last week beating the Ca¬ 
dets 7 to 1. 

GCMA scored its lone run when 
Holaday walked, stole second and 
gained the plate when Schwartz’s 
throw to Castillo went into left 
field. 

Don gave up four free passes 
to first and struck out the twelve 
of the twenty-five men who faced 
him. Darnel of the Cadets start¬ 
ed the game but was thumbed to 
the showers at the end of the j 
3rd inning when he was replaced | 
by Raphael Tutt. The latter gave 
up four hits, walked four, and 
struck out two. 

The Rocks scored in every in¬ 
ning except the sixth frame. Ca¬ 
ruso scored two 2; Heitzmann,

This is the end of the school year and in many ways it has been a 
successful one considered from the athletic angle. Football was better 
than any previous season, all six games played within the State were 
on the winning side of the ledger. The basketball season was a bit 
more than fair. We were eliminated in the Eighth Regional bracket 
in the finals. In boxing we again won the State Championship for 
the fourth successive year. The baseball team notwithstanding a 
lay-off of two years did very well against keen competition along the 
Gulf Coast. The infield will be intact for play next year, altho the 
pitching Staff will be shot to pieces by graduation. After several 
years, Stanislaus put out a tennis team that won from all schools 
along the Coast. Won the Singles Championship in our Region and 
placed second in the doubles. Both are playing at Hattiesburg this 
weekend for the right to get into the State play-off. We are sorry 
that Coach Dick Thames must go to the Navy. Here’s wishing him 
the best of luck. As for the Rock-A-Chaws, all our teams have made 
more than a winning name for themselves - they have merited a 
name to be respected by their determination to win, and their display 
of character and sportsmanship on and off the field.

) 

Our track team representatives did not do so well at the District 
| meeting at Brookhaven. Mike Gasteazoro tripped over a hurdle which 
knocked him off stride while leading the field by five yards. Sara- 
vanja took third place in the low hurdles, and T. J. Gabb took fourth 
place in the 880 yard run. Considering that the Rock-rA-Chaws had 
not fielded a track and field team in several years, the team is to be 
commended for a job well done, and a bow to Coach Mike Powers for 
bringing them around.

men. The forty-five boys who will comprise next year’s Freshman class can be seen in the accom¬ 
panying picture. Their interest in activities and their eagerness to work bespeak a successful career at 
Stanislaus. Thanks to the endeavors of Brother Canisius, Brother Clifford, and their present teacher, 
Brother Raphael, they are well qualified to undertake the next most important step in their education.
